Katie Price fans speak out as she splits opinion with snap of daughter, 8, in makeup and false lashes

Katie Price's fans have spoken out in her defence after she split opinion with an image of her eight-year-old daughter. The former glamour model was clearly proud of her little girl as she shared the snap with her millions of followers.

It showed Bunny in a throwback snap in wearing a full face of make-up for Katie's sister Sophie Price’s wedding last summer, where both Bunny and Katie were bridesmaids alongside Katie’s other daughter, Princess, 15, who she shared with former husband Peter Andre.

In the picture, Bunny could be seen smiling for the camera with false lashes and glittery eyeshadow as she wears her blonde hair back with a beautiful floral headband. "My Bunny Bops the day of my sisters wedding and @fern_makeup," Katie captioned the snap alongside a string of heart emojis.

Ru Paul's Drag Race star Michelle Visage was among the first to reply, writing: "Gorgeous little girl!" Australian singer, actress, model, and television personality said: "I used to wear makeup at that age for dance competitions. I loved it." Sister Sophie also replied: "Yessss Bunny!!" with a red heart emoji.

But as Katie came under fire for the snap, makeup artist Fern had her say: "Before everyones moans its makeup for a few hours and a ONE OFFFFFF! Every little girl I know LOVES playing with makeup and having fun. She doesnt strut around every single day like this, its fun and made her happy for a few hours of 1 days for her aunties wedding."

And plenty of people agreed with her. @loveanicebag said: "Calm down everyone, it was for a wedding!" @nicolarossxo wrote: "Make up washes off the same as paint does and none of you would say anything if she was covered in paint, it’s not a tattoo and permanent. People need to calm down."

@elljay24 replied: "Shes literally been to a wedding and like any little girl maybe wanted all the make up. God man. Perfect mam brigade strikes." @kelly_coops8 added: "Why do all the haters follow people they disapprove of just to post negativity..?? Go follow Mary Poppins or someone similar no harm done to anyone here whatsoever."

It comes after she spoke out in defence over her pictures and video of herself with son Harvey, 20, who she shares with ex Dwight Yorke. She came under fire for posting the footage of herself in bed with her eldest son. While some branded it 'inappropriate', others were quick to gush over the sweet post. However, during an interview on Women’s Radio Station, Katie appeared to have responded to the reaction to the post.

As well as sharing the footage, which showed Harvey snoring as she laid beside him, with her followers on Instagram she also posted a similar clip - in which Harvey, 20, appeared to get woken up - on TikTok the same day. "[He's] home and getting in my bed like a baby wanting cuddles," the former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star captioned one of the clips.

"Harvey is a big baby," Katie said on the new podcast of the 20-year-old who she shares with former partner Dwight Yorke. At college they are not allowed to cuddle and touch him or anything,” she explained. "When he’s here, he just wants to hold my hand, stroke my hair, give me kisses," she continued. "I don’t care what anyone says, they can think what they like." Also during the chat, Katie revealed that Harvey now has a girlfriend.
