A female bodybuilder trolled for her muscular physique insists she's never been more ladylike.
Adele MacGillivray, 28, is often slated for her muscles since starting her fitness journey in 2016.
She lost 3st and dropped five dress sizes before entering and winning her first bodybuilding competition in 2019.

The mum-of-one even scooped gold at another event last year, just six months after welcoming her son Axiel.
And while the mental health nurse is continuing her love for fitness, she's often met with backlash due to her look.
Adele, who is married to PT Robbie, told Sun Fabulous: "Multiple people have called me a man and said I'm too muscly.
"People have said 'you're bigger than the average male' and 'do you actually think that look is attractive?'
"I would say it did affect me at the start because I didn't really have many people around me that understood it."
The mum claimed the negative comments don't bother her anymore as she "genuinely loves the sport".

Although she's told she's too masculine, Adele insists it couldn't be further from the truth as she's "very girly".
The mum, who has over 2,600 Instagram followers, loves her eyelashes, extensions and tan too.
She met her partner Robbie when he worked in the gym she used.
The pair hit it off instantly and their shared love for fitness proved to be a true match made in heaven.
After gaining victory in a competition last year, Adele now wants to show other mums that anything is possible.
She wants other women to pursue their dreams no matter how many kids they have.
"It's the best feeling in the world being able to show what you can do straight after giving birth," she concluded.
