The Bay made a return to screens last month with its fourth series. DS Jenn Townsend (played by Marsha Thomason) and the team were back to solve the mysterious murder of a mother, whose home was the target of an arson attack. The detective does her best to support the family, but suspicions turn to the husband, Dean (Joe Armstrong).

As well as solving the crime and supporting the grief-stricken family, Jenn also had to deal with her own family trouble.

Her stepdaughter Erin (Georgia Scholes) went behind her parents’ back and bunked off from school.

After saying she was seeing her mum, Erin was in fact, with her new boyfriend Shane.

Following Wednesday night’s episode, fans took to social media after noticing a change in the actress’ appearance following series three.

Many commented on Georgia’s weight, however, the actress was quick to put viewers in their place.

Taking to Twitter to set the record straight about her appearance, Georgia explained she was pregnant when filming for the series.

She penned: “Amused at some of the comments I’ve seen about myself in #thebay that I should have been recast because I’m ‘enlarged’, and look ‘old’,reality is this face can’t even get served in a bar.

“Thanks to the bay for keeping my fat arse in a job n not sacking me for being pregnant.” (sic)

Georgia’s followers were quick to reply, with many sending their love to the actress and for her to “ignore the haters”.

User @kookykanke replied: “Give them what for. Good to see learn/meet another new mummy in the business. Congrats!”

Kev said: “You were great. Realising you were pregnant at the time of filming adds a twist to last night’s scenes. Have you seen the theory that it’s actually Jacqui’s test?” (sic)

While @roisinturley added: “Some people are horrible individuals u embrace your looks.”
