Chloe Madeley hits back at 'mum-shaming' trolls after backlash from picture

Trolls on social media have angered Chloe Madeley after they criticised her about a picture of her daughter with her grandparents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.

The 35-year-old says that she was mum-shamed over the incident. The mum welcomed little Bodhi to the world in August 2022.

She had her first child with husband James Haskell and has updated fans on social media about how her motherhood journey is going. Bodhi was brought along to enjoy an evening out with her grandparents last week.

Chloe shared a picture of her dad Richard fussing over his granddaughter as the young girl showed a beaming smile. The TV presenter had her help out in front of him over the table, the Mirror reports.

Granny Judy was sitting next to the pair smiling as they looked to be enjoying their time together as a family. But a number of people commented on the picture after spotting something they were not happy with.

Some said to Chloe that Bodhi was standing dangerously close to cutlery. The mum was infuriated by the comments and changed her caption to snap back at her ‘trolls.’

She wrote: "The view dreams are made of. Pure love in front of me!

"*Please note that the cutlery remained out of reach throughout lunch."

Her fans rushed to her aid with one sarcastically writing: "What about the napkins - they look pretty menacing."

"Lovely photo. How sad that you have to state the obvious so as not to stir up criticism," another wrote.

A third posted: "I hope you didn’t let the baby touch a plate. You'll have the perfect parent police judging."

It came just days after Chloe hit out at “disgusting” mum-shamers who slammed her over a photo of her six-month-old daughter Bodhi sitting on her husband James Haskell’s lap in the back of a car.

Chloe was also unhappy with criticism for her taxi snap. (Instagram/Chloe Madeley.)

In the since-deleted snap, Chloe was asked by cruel trolls: “Why isn't your child in a car seat?! How irresponsible,” to which the qualified personal trainer responded: “Because it’s a taxi, look it up.”

The Instagram user refused to drop the exchange, continuing: “Taxi or not - shame on you.”

Chloe then hit back, explaining that children under three travelling in taxis must not use a seat belt if the taxi driver does not provide a car seat.

“Understanding the law is not your forte. Do you think you're more informed than the law?,” she told the follower.

“How dare you insinuate that because we're in a 10 minute taxi ride where legally our child under the age of 3 sits on our lap, that I'm a bad mother. You are the worst of us women. Go away. Get a grip. Get a life.”

Elsewhere, in her Instagram story, Chloe said: “Women who've never met me or my baby thinking they care more about her than I do never fails to shock and disgust me.

“Rest assured I don't make a safety conscious decision without first researching it (and getting multiple second opinions from friends and family.)

“Keep your side of the street clean and don't worry about mine,” she concluded.
