Chloe Madeley has hit out at ‘disgusting’ mum-shamers in a furious row.
The 35-year-old daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan opened up about her ‘shock and disgust’ after she posted a photo of her six-month-old daughter Bodhi sitting on her husband James Haskell’s lap in the back of a car.
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.
It comes as first-time mum Chloe has lifted the lid on her relationship with Zara Tindall, with the royal even offering to change her baby’s nappies.
Chloe welcomed her daughter last August with husband James, and as the couple got to grips with parenthood, their good friend Zara and her husband Mike have been there to lend a helping hand.
After building a close bond with Bodhi, the Queen's granddaughter even took baby Bodhi to look after her for a day.
Recalling the special day, Chloe quipped that Bodhi was 'basically Zara's baby for the day'.
"I think they were two of the first friends that met her. Zara just didn’t let go of her all day,” she shared.
“She was basically Zara’s baby for the day, which was nice for me, because I could sit down with some of our friends and have a cup of tea and a catch-up," Chloe told OK! Magazine.
