Charlotte Crosby forced to respond as fans share concern over snaps of baby at first football game

Charlotte Crosby has been forced to respond after fans shared their concern over the latest snaps of her baby daughter at her first football game. The former Geordie Shore star and her boyfriend Jake Ankers took little Alba to watch Manchester City play at home on Thursday night (January 19).

Pep Guardiola's team faced Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad which saw goals gallore as Man City came back from two goals down to win 4-2. And Charlotte and Jake were thrilled to be able to take their daughter, who was born in October, to watch the thrilling game unfold.

The new mum shared a string of photos from the family trip to the stadium and wrote: "ALBAS FIRST FOOTBALL GAME," alongside a football emoji.

Charlotte, 32, could be seen cutting a casual figure in black leggings and a sweatshirt paired with knee-high boots, while three-month-old Alba was dressed in a blue Manchester City baby grow. A video also showed Charlotte comforting her daughter as the players warmed up on the pitch.

While some fans were quick to gush over the sweet snaps and videos, others were concerned. @aninhasmc said: "Should Alba be wearing ear phones at such a loud match? I’m sure her little ears are sensitive to such noise and crowds. Just a genuine question. Very cute!"

@hiiiitsjustme commented: "Am I the only one thinking of the fact that the weather is on minus (stadiums are windy too) and baby is cold and would catch a cold dress like that? - not criticising just a thought.. you guys look cute." Others, however, were ready to defend Charlotte over the comments.

@kellyellykelly said: "Why all the mum shaming about her not having a coat on?!?! She is clearly in a hospitality box and has nipped out for a better picture in her city onesie!!! She has a coat on in another picture…… she’s a new mum, the last thing she needs is judgement….. chill people!!!! Hope you enjoyed the match in the best stadium in the world."

Charlotte, however, was quick to reply to the queries, clearing up any worries about Alba being out in the cold. The reality star replied: "For anyone worrying the Alba had her little snow suit on when she was out outside for longer then 5 mins she only went outside twice the whole time we were there and the rest of the time we were in a box which was RED HOT I wouldn’t in any situation let my little girl freeze to death rest assured".

She also said in the comments: "I love being a mam," while Jake commented: "My girls are lucky charms." Charlotte became a first-time mum in October when she welcomed her daughter with partner Jake. Announcing Alba's birth on Instagram, Charlotte wrote: "Alba Jean Ankers 14.10.22. Our hearts are so full my baby girl you have shown us a whole new meaning to life.

"[You're] perfect in absolutely every way! Mammy and Daddy are so so so lucky to call you our little girl you are loved so much more [than] you will ever know." But her daughter's arrival was followed by the tragic passing of her grandmother Jean, who she paid tribute to with her daughter's middle name, just a couple of weeks later.
