EastEnders’ Louisa Lytton reveals viewers have sent her online abuse

Louisa Lytton has reportedly revealed she is receiving daily abusive message from trolls over her role on EastEnders. 

The actress, 31, has drawn the ire of some soap fans over her character Ruby Allen’s ongoing feud with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner). 

According to the Metro, Louisa shared a screenshot to her Instagram Stories of one particularly nasty message and wrote alongside it: ‘Be kind’. 

The message was said to have called Louisa abusive names and criticised her for the storyline with Stacey.

Tensions have been rising in Albert Square since Stacey’s return, with Ruby making it her top priority to get revenge on her former friend.

Ruby, who married Stacey’s ex Martin, has been trying to rid Walford of the Slater family and previously teamed up with Suki Panesar to con Kat Slater’s boyfriend Kush out of £10,000.

Some viewers were also convinced that Ruby had ordered a mystery man to attack Stacey on the street after she previously warned not to ‘underestimate’ her. 

But it appears some fans of the soap have had trouble distinguishing fiction from reality as Louisa posted a screenshot of another message and wrote: ‘It’s not real folks’. 

The actress is also said to have told her followers that such abusive message have become a ‘daily occurrence.’

It comes after Louisa revealed in September that she has bought a house with her fiancé Ben Bhanvra. 

Louisa took to social media to share a snap of herself and husband-to-be Ben sat in the back of the moving lorry surrounded by boxes.

The star admitted the chance to buy their first home was a welcome consolation after the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to cancel their wedding.

She penned the caption: ‘Still unpacking i honestly don’t know how all of that stuff fit in our little flat.

‘I feel so overwhelmed (in a good way) my flat was my baby, it looked after us during lockdown, it allowed me and the girls (@alexlouizebird @mariannaneo ) to fall in drunk after nights out, have nights in with 3BlindMice (@cartierfraseriheacho @mafromusic) it even had a space in the bed for @natashastonemua for a whole month whilst she held my hand and supplied lots of wine through a break up.

‘It was mine and @bennnyy__ first home. Goodbye wedding (for now) Hello house ❤️ Shall I update you on the progress or are we bored of home accounts?!’

Louisa then shared a video montage of her and Ben moving into their home to the John Legend track Good Morning, with the living room and driveway completed covered in boxes and bags.
