Leigh-Anne Pinnock defended by fans after bizarre mum-shaming on photo of her twins

Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock was defended by fans after she was mum-shamed over Christmas.

The singer, 31, shared a sweet snap of her family wearing matching festive pyjamas - but despite the innocent intentions of the photo, some trolls found a way to tear Leigh Anne down.

Leigh-Anne and her partner Andre Gray held their twin babies, who sweetly leaned it to kiss each other.

She captioned the snap: "Merry Christmas from the Graynocks".

While most people were happy for the little family, others took offence.

"Am I the only one who is weirded out by the twins kissing?" one person snapped.

Another agreed, writing: "No, I hate seeing kids kiss each other or their parents on the mouth. Like why?"

But most people in the section disagreed, and took to the comment section to defend the parents.

One wrote: "Wow clearly you must be which is sick that you find it weird, they're siblings."

"Why are you sexualising kids," said another fan in Leigh-Anne's defence.

While a third added: "They are literally BABIES what a strange comment."

Some of you in comments are so worried about “why the are twins kissing” they are babies for crying out loud and also that sibling love. So stop stressing about something that u have no control over," another added.

"So you if they weren’t siblings it would be ok. Your contradiction is quite concerning," one wrote.

She said that the interest around her children 'freaked her out' (leighannepinnock/instagram)

"not when you are babies it's not weird at all , I have pictures of my now 9 and 10 year old kissing on the lips when they were 3 and 4," added another.

Leigh-Anne has worked hard to keep her two children out of the public eye.

She has still not revealed their names or gender and has explained her decision.

"I'm just trying to keep it as private as possible for as long as possible," she said.

"It was a decision we made at the time because [the attention] was freaking me out a little bit.”

Whenever she posts photos of the twins she uses emojis to cover their faces and will often angle the camera strategically to shield them.
