Love Island star Camilla Thurlow has slammed the vile troll who called her 'classless' for breastfeeding her new-born daughter in a car.
The mother of two shared a photo of her breastfeeding Nora Bell on her Instagram stories, before a troll branded her 'classless'. Camilla, 33, took to the social media platform and penned a lengthy caption slamming the vile troll's message.
She re-shared the photo and said: "It's important to share that and not just the perfect moments". In the long statement, she added: "I shared this on my stories earlier and someone sent me a message saying how ‘classless’ it was.
"It’s easy to end up sharing the highlights of parenting on here, but between the pretty reels are many moments, like this, that are part of the reality. Like feeding in carparks, or pumping in bathroom stalls or using the five minutes you had for a cuppa to sterilise bottles.
"There are the days when you leave an hour early (despite getting no sleep) to try and time feeds right so your baby is settled for a meeting. Or stay up late when you’re utterly exhausted to wash your pump parts before work tomorrow, or try to screw a bottle top on one-handed whilst rocking a pram so you don’t disturb anyone."
She continued: "There’s constant planning, and prepping and admin that you do to try and make things work for everyone (usually while trying to make it look easy at the same time), and then there’s enduring the critical looks when inevitably one day it doesn’t quite go as smoothly as planned despite all the effort you’ve put in.
"I put that story up thinking there would be so many parents in a similar position today - feeding their baby, multi-tasking and making things work - because that’s the reality and it’s important to share that and not just the perfect moments.
Ending the post, she said: "And tbh I think if you don’t like seeing a baby being fed - either by bottle or breast, whether in real life or on here - you need to grow up, because we don’t need the added job of trying to work around you too. Let’s leave the business of behaving like a baby to the babies."
Fans and friends rallied around the reality star for taking a stand against the troll. Camilla's husband, Jamie Jewitt, who she met in 2017 on the ITV2 dating show, raged against the "t***" who criticised his wife.
Jamie said: "If the idiot that said it happens to see this comment I saw who you were. Pathetic from a woman of your age. The irony is you used the word classless to describe cams behaviour. T***"
One fan raged: "Classless ???? Your feeding a human being, your child, your life… seriously people need to get a grip, and it’s been said over and over again and again but here goes, if you can be anything “be kind” And if you can’t do that, “do one”"
Another said: "We need to see more of this on social media! Normalise breastfeeding. Great job Camilla xx" A third wrote: "Well said girl . Needed to see a post like this today , been in the same boat past couple of days"
