Chloe Madeley hits back after being mum-shamed over snap of baby with Richard and Judy

A furious Chloe Madeley has hit out after trolls mum-shamed her over a picture of her baby daughter with her famous grandparents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.

The 35-year-old became mum to little Bodhi in August 2022. The personal trainer was elated to welcome her first child with husband James Haskell to the world, and has kept fans up to date on her motherhood journey since.

She took her daughter along to enjoy an evening out with her parents last week.

Sat down at a restaurant table, Chloe shared a snap of her beaming dad as he fawned over his cute granddaughter, who he held out in front of him over the table.

Grandmother Judy sat next to him grinning as they spent time with their family, but Chloe’s followers were quick to spot the negative in the picture.

Some fans took to the comments to tell Chloe that Bodhi was stood close to some cutlery and questioned whether it was safe.

The comments angered Chloe so much that she changed the lovely photo’s caption to hit back at the mum-shaming 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 loyal followers were quick to come to her defence, 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.

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.
