Tina Malone has reportedly spoken with police after being trolled on Twitter.
The 53-year-old Shameless star was seen visiting Huyton Police Station in Merseyside on New Year's Eve.
After losing a massive 12.5 stone after undergoing gastric band surgery six years ago, the star has become the target of vile social media trolls recently.
The situation worsened after she was spotted taking the bins out last week in black see-through stockings, a pink suspender belt and a transparent baby-doll dress.

One particularly nasty troll tweeted at the star, saying: "What qualities does she have apart from stripping to put the bins out?"
A source told Mail Online: "She was reporting trolls who had been abusing her after she was pictured taking out the bins in her lingerie a few days ago.
"She was upset and shaken up."
Speaking about the impact online trolls have on her during a recent appearance on This Morning, Tina said: "It affects my daughter Danielle and my husband Paul. I laugh about it, that's not bravado, that's the truth."

'I feel sorry for the Twitter trolls. They are sat in their room on their own. I say to them, "Maybe you need help, maybe you are unloved or lonely".
Mirror Celeb has contacted Tina's rep for comment.
