Charlotte Crosby hits back at criticism for flying business class with baby daughter

Charlotte Crosby has hit back at criticism after she posted snaps showing herself and her beau Jake Ankers flying in business class with their baby daughter.

The former Geordie Shore star, 32, jetted off to Dubai for a family holiday along with her four-month-old daughter Alba.

Reality star mum Charlotte posted a series of photos from her trip so far on her Instagram page.

One image in the string of photos shows Charlotte cradling her daughter Alba while sat in a business class plane seat.

As she shared the photos with her 8.4 million followers, Charlotte wrote in the caption: "Holiday mode DUMP p.s. is this Alba or my nana in these pics ?!"

While many fans gushed over the collection of adorable photos, one follower claimed a passenger sitting in business class looked annoyed by Charlotte and her daughter.

They wrote: "The woman is livid she’s booked business class and there’s a baby disrupting her reading" followed by a laughing face emoji.

Another agreed as they wrote: "yes I thought that too".

But, Charlotte insisted the woman "loved Alba to bits" and complimented them on how well behaved the tot was on the flight.

Mum Charlotte replied with: "@emlambertem Aw no honestly that woman was absolutely lovely and loved Alba to bits she couldn’t believe how well behaved she was and was giving her lots of compliments!!!! She was a really lovely lady".

It comes after Charlotte revealed she is ready for another baby last month – 10 weeks after welcoming her baby girl.

The star opened up about feeling 'so proud' of her post-baby body and how motherhood surprised her.

When asked whether her daughter made her proud of her body, she said: "Oh my God, so proud. I think the human body is an amazing thing."

She added to OK! Magazine: "I already can’t wait to have another baby. I’ve got the bug now!"

Charlotte and Jake began dating in 2021 after being introduced through mutual friends.

In April 2022, Charlotte announced she was expecting the couple's first child and their romance has grown stronger ever since.

In a sweet tribute post to mark the New Year, Charlotte thanked her beau for "completing my whole life".

As she shared a montage video of their year together on her Instagram, Charlotte wrote: "Thankyou @jake_ankers you’ve truly completed my whole life my sunshine in a dark year," as she referenced the sad death of her beloved grandmother.

Charlotte added: "My rock. My soul mate to many more hopefully happier years. I love you".

Jake replied in the comments by writing: "Awwww Charlotte I can’t thank you enough for coming in to my life you are truly such an amazing woman!

"What a year we have had!!! And most important of all you have given me little Alba I’m a very very lucky man and I love you so so much

"P.S stop stealing all my clothes," Jake joked as he ended the sweet message.
