Billie Eilish discusses trolling in a BBC One special

Billie Eilish discusses trolling in tonight's (31.07.21) BBC One special 'Billie Eilish: Up Close.'

The Grammy-winner has landed a 45-minute special in which she details the dark side of being in the spotlight and the abuse she receives online while working "so hard" to "do good for the world."

Clara Amfo, a BBC Radio 1 DJ, says to her: "People who say insane things don't believe you'll see it, and they would never say it to you in real life.

"What's the purpose of trying to do good if everyone keeps telling you that you're doing it wrong? 

"I work very hard to do good for the world and for people."

The 'My Future' hitmaker also discusses her sudden climb to superstardom, what it's like to be a role model for young fans all over the world, and her new album, 'Happier Than Ever.'

According to a press release, "BBC Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo will talk to Billie about her latest album 'Happier Than Ever,' her extraordinary rise to fame, looking back at her remarkable success, the effect it has had on her life, and her role as an inspiration for young people all over the world in this 45-minute entertainment special filmed in Billie's home town of Los Angeles."

Adele, Ariana Grande, and Harry Styles have all had their own 'At The BBC' TV specials in the past.

Furthermore, Billie will make her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge debut on Saturday at 11.15pm on BBC iPlayer, and fans can hear an "amazing cover" on BBC Radio 1 on August 5 at 12pm.

'Billie Eilish: Up Close' will appear on BBC One at 10.30 p.m. BST.
