Rosie Jones admits she's learned to 'ignore and rationalise' trolling after being hit by 'ableist' abuse for Big Fat Quiz Of The Year appearance: 'I hate that my mum has to see it'


The comedian received a wave of support from her co-stars after being hit by 'horrendous' trolling for her appearance on the Channel 4 show in December.

On the couch, she spoke to Alex Jones and Boyzone's Ronan Keating, saying: 'As a disabled person in the media, I get a lot of online abuse every single day and I really wanted to explore that and get to the bottom of why people are ableist.' On Tuesday, Rosie appeared on the panel of Big Fat Quiz Of The Year alongside the likes of Katherine Ryan, Mo Gilligan, Richard Ayoade and Mel Giedroyc. Nish, who frequently appears alongside Rosie on TV, took to the microblogging site to pen: 'Rosie Jones is the best', while Dawn wrote on her original tweet about the Royal Variety Performance: 'You are totally my cup of tea'.
