Strictly Come Dancing star Nicola Adams ' girlfriend has hit back at keyboard warriors who criticised her for breastfeeding in lingerie.
Ella Baig was labelled 'disgusting' by an array of social media users after the new mum posted a snap of her breastfeeding the couple's five-month-old son, Taylor Nate, while sporting a see-through underwear set complete with stockings and suspenders.
Nicola and Ella, who welcomed their baby son with IVF using Nicola’s egg fertilised via a sperm donor who resembled Ella, have faced heavy criticism over the snap, with some mums claiming it to be 'inappropriate' and 'sexualised'.
Although Ella has attempted to portray how she juggles being a lingerie model and being a mother, it backfired and the model has now hit back at some cruel comments which were directed her way after the controversial snap.
"Seems like I ruffled some feathers with this one", she said in an Instagram story.
"In all honesty, this is the reality of my life. But why can't we be sexy while being a mum? Do the two have to be separate?
"Everyone is entitled to an opinion but we don't have to agree. Yes, I'm wearing sexy lingerie, but that doesn't erase everything else about me."
Ella went on: "Yes, I'm feeding my child but that doesn't then extinguish my sexuality. The two are not interchangeable, they co-exist."
Back in 2020, Ella and Nicola, started IVF using Nicola’s egg fertilised via a sperm donor who resembled Ella.
And in July, the pair welcomed their baby boy, Taylor Nate.
Nicola previously said that watching Ella's body change and to see her give birth was 'amazing', adding that she was 'so proud' of her.
Opening up about why they had decided upon Taylor's name, Nicola explained: "We had a few names in mind because we wanted to see what he looked like first to see if the name suited him.
"We didn’t want to get stuck on one name and have to think of a new one if it didn’t work."
