Marie-Claire Rupio wife to the late footballer Christian Atsu has hit back at trolls bullying her for dancing.

Bullies had taken to social media to attack the mother of three stating she did not love her husband enough and that she isn't sad he is dead.

Claire took to her socials saying she loves dancing and that is one way for her to deal with her grief.

 "It is well. I am writing just to say a few things, yes I posted a dance video. Not because I am happy but because I have to find a way to deal with my grief. I am not alone, I have 3 children to take care of by myself.

I can't lose myself, because I need to be strong for them.

And in Europe, you deal with mental health in a lot of ways and dancing was always my passion.

So excuse me, but please just think before you write something or put it on YouTube."

Adding;

"Thank you, We are missing Christian every single day and it hasn't been easy.

Especially when you have 3 children, who are asking every day for their dad!

I am doing my best"
