Geordie Shore's Holly Hagan calls for Twitter passport verification to tackle online trolls

Geordie Shore OG Holly Hagan has called on Twitter bosses to take decisive action to finally cut own on trolling.

The MTV beauty, who found fame alongside Charlotte Crosby and Gaz Beadle on the wild reality TV show, took to Twitter to ask her followers for ideas of how to stop online bullying once and for all.

Posting to her 1.6 million, Holly wrote: “I heard Twitter we’re going to be doing tweeting options where you can tweet something as a statement and have comments off so people can’t reply.

“Or only ask for comments from people you follow etc I think that’s a really good idea. You can then tweet without creating a debate.”

She added minutes later: “What steps are actually realistic that we can ask for to make social media safer?

“Passport/driving licence verification for each account is a must I think.

“If you don’t take this step there should be an option to block all unverified accounts from seeing you profile.”

After one follower replied say it is a shame Caroline Flack ‘had to die for this to happen’ Holly replied: “I’ve been trying to fight it for years but people don’t listen.”

In January Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson won a National Television Award for her hard-hitting BBC documentary Odd One Out.

The documentary revealed how Jesy was pushed to the brink after cruel trolls mocked her from her time on the X Factor and throughout her career.

She heartbreaking revealed how she had taken an overdose in a bid to shut out the pain.

Jesy, 28, said: “I just remember thinking, ‘I just need this to go away, I’m going to end this’.

“I remember going to the kitchen and just took as many tablets as I could.

“Then I laid in bed for ages and kept thinking, ‘Let it happen. Hurry up’.”

The incident is believed to have occurred in November 2013.
