The video shows Nicola next to comments such as “you’re too manly” and “you’re too black”, while Ella appears next to comments such as “you wear to much make-up”.
When shown embracing in a hug, comments read: “don’t you want a family?” and “you don’t look gay”.
Sharing the video on her social channels, Nicola wrote: “It’s so sad to think how little it’s changed over the years and that people still discriminate against us for just being women, the colour of our skin or who we love.
“We will never stop fighting for what we believe in or stop being who we are and neither should you.” More
