Middlesbrough's Amelia Lily's dad is calling for more of us to stand up to internet trolls.

The 17 year old X Factor star was targetted by online bullies on Twitter, who set up a profile under the name @hateforAmelia. They shut the account down after her father threatened to tell the police.

Speaking to Real Radio North East Barry Oliver says he can't understand why some people enjoy upsetting others.
