Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's new husband has described her as "the most beautiful woman on the planet" while defending her against online critics.
Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini hit back at Instagram users who cruelly criticised the singer for being too thin in a recent photo she shared on the site.
The picture, taken backstage at the X Factor auditions, shows Cheryl posing in a purple and white dress. While most of her fans responded positively, some were less kind – prompting JB to step in. "She is the most beautiful woman on the planet and she wants to share it," he wrote. "#sharingiscaring. No seriously she is. Do you follow me?
"And I can tell you something else, she really cares about her fans and touched by all your support," the handsome Frenchman continued. "Now for the hater please continue talking #wasteofenergy. I wish I had that much time hating and waste energy. Must mean you have a very productive life." His comments were quickly applauded by Cheryl's loyal supporters. "@jbfernandezversini the haters are not worth it!" one wrote. "She's the best woman ever and I love her so much! Thank you for making her so happy."
Cheryl, 31, and JB married in secret in front of a handful of guests on a beach in Mustique on 7 July after dating for three months. The star announced the surprise news shortly afterwards, while posting a picture of her engagement and wedding ring.
