Sue revealed on Tuesday that she was going to be away from the social media site “for a bit”, after she was bombarded with abuse from fans of ‘Top Gear’, following reports she was the new bookies’ favourite to replace Jeremy Clarkson on the show.
She wrote: “My timeline has been full of blokes wishing me dead… this morning someone suggested they’d like to see me burn to death. All of which goes to say that I’ll be off Twitter for a bit.”
To “cheer up” her partner, Anna took to her own Twitter later that day, encouraging Sue's fans to share selfies showing their support.
Anna explained: “If you get the chance, draw a kiss on a piece of paper, take a selfie & post. I'll give them to her, it'll cheer her up.”
Thank you guys. If you get the chance, draw a kiss on a piece of paper, take a selfie & post. I'll give them to her, it'll cheer her up. X

— Hannah Hopkins (@Hannah_Hopkins_) April 14, 2015We were pleased to see that Anna’s idea has clearly done the trick, as she posted another tweet thanking participants for sharing what she dubbed their “Sue smooches”.
THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUE SMOOCHES!! @sueperkins sends big love back and says Thankyou. Now she's off for a cuppa in the sun...x
— Anna Richardson (@AnnaRichardso) April 14, 2015Anna confirmed at the tail-end of last year that she and Sue were an item, describing her as “amazing” in an interview with Lorraine Kelly back in January.
She said: “There was an understanding between us, and for me the planets aligned and I just thought, this person - it’s not even about a woman - this person is absolutely extraordinary.”
