Online abuse and trolling is bad enough but this is horrible. You really need thick skin when you've been thrust into the spotlight over the last 12 months.

What a nasty piece of work!

Thanks Prudie.

He made a great response in the briefing today....

His Mum has said she is appalled but I feel she has given her lad a little too much leeway with the 'poor him' comments.

Mind you we have seen a steady increase of anger on here as time has gone on so it isn't only teenagers who are getting stroppy.

I hope his video apology is fulsome and genuine.

Mr Whitty was out getting a snack for his lunch. There is now a new definition of moron - there will be a picture of the guy who abused him.

Of course there's a picture, he's in the video.
