Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's new husband Jean-Bernard has defended her from social media trolls who criticised one of her selfies.

The Crazy Stupid Love singer posted a photo of herself in the dressing room at the X Factor auditions on Instagram and Twitter. But when some people left comments criticising her weight and appearance, JB jumped to her defence.

According to the Daily Mirror, he responded: "She is the most beautiful woman on the planet and she wants to share it. #sharingiscaring No seriously she is. Do you follow me?"

He added: "And I can tell you something else she really care about her fans and touched by all your support. Now for the hater please continue talking #wasteofenergy. I wish I had that much time hating and waste energy. Must mean you have."

Cheryl's fans replied to thank her new French husband for sticking up for her.

The couple got married in a secret ceremony on a beach in Mustique after a whirlwind romance, and Cheryl is now back on The X Factor as part of this year's judging panel after a four year break from the show.
