CMAT has shared a statement explaining her 'deep sadness' over body-shaming comments following a performance at BBC's Big Weekend festival.

The Irish singer-songwriter says her rise has been increasingly ‘tarnished by the fact that I would be allowed to enjoy it so much more if I was thin’

Pop star says she wants to stop speaking about abuse she receives but ‘cannot because it keeps happening, at an accelerating and worsening pace’
