A man "fat-shamed" on social media after pictures of him dancing were posted online has got his own back on the trolls by partying the night away with stars in Los Angeles.

Sean O'Brien attracted global support after he was anonymously trolled on Twitter, and was dubbed The Dancing Man by a social media campaign that tracked him down and revealed his identity.

The Liverpudlian became an unlikely celebrity and this weekend visited Los Angeles.

He threw out the first pitch at a baseball game and appeared on television dancing with pop star Meghan Trainor before partying at the Avalon nightclub.
