Studio 10 host Sarah Harris fires back at a misogynistic Twitter troll

It’s often better to ignore the immeasurable number of trolls on Twitter if you’re a celebrity, but it seems Sarah Harris has finally drawn the line.

The 39-year-old Studio 10 host fired back at an offensive tweet on Wednesday which accused the presenter of using her body to ‘bolster ratings’.

‘My estimation of Australia took rather a nosedive, seeing how you use your body, to bolster flagging ratings?’ Twitter user ‘John Smith’ wrote.

Sarah responded with a picture of actress Elizabeth Moss wearing a head-to-toe red cloak and white bonnet as seen on the TV series The Handmaid’s Tale.

‘Thanks so much for your feedback on my TV wardrobe John,’ she wrote.

‘You’re right, skin is the devil’s work (especially WOMEN’S KNEES. Gross) and ladies must be covered from neck to ankles at all times.’
