Scarlett Moffatt has hit out at "mum shaming" trolls after she received abuse since giving birth to her first child. 

The TV personality, who found fame on Gogglebox and I'm A Celeb, gave birth to her son Jude Xavier Dobinson in June, and has been keeping Instagram followers updated ever since.

However, she has now highlighted both the well-wishes and the abuse she has received about her child and the way she parents.

Last month, Scarlett shared some photos for a family party and could be seen beaming from ear to ear as she celebrated with her nearest and dearest.

But people were more focused on Xavier not wearing any shoes, with one person commenting: “Beautiful picture but please don’t put soft shoes on a two-month-old baby. At that age they should only be wearing socks or babygro.”

Another added: “Why do people feel the need to put shoes on a baby that young? We are forced to wear shoes for the rest of our lives from a certain age why make them wear them now let their toes be free.”

Hitting back at the trolls, Scarlett replied: “Thanks for all the lovely comments- also these are the Nike soft bottom crib shoes they’re not trainers.”

A number of fans applauded her for sticking up for herself, with one person cheering: “Beautiful! I can’t imagine how frustrating it is to have to explain or justify what you choose to dress your baby in.”

Another agreed: “Scarlett, do not sit there and b***** well explain yourself, he’s your son, not theirs you’re doing an amazing job, he’s perfect!”

This comes after Scarlett spoke candidly about her changing relationship with her body during an episode of Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, revealing: “I literally see my body as a different entity now, like even now, honestly, because a lot of my friends were saying, you know, it can feel quite hard after you’ve had a baby because your body changes so much. And I think listening to your podcast and watching a lot of sort of motivational women talking about sort of bodies after you’ve given birth. Like, I’ve got a lot of stretch marks on my tummy.

“Honestly, I actually love them. I never thought I’d say that. Like I look at them and I just think it sort of looks like the inside of a tree. Yeah, I feel like Mother Nature, like, this is so amazing. And before, like even sometimes, like out of the bath I’d like run past the mirror if I was getting out the bath. And I’d be like, Oh, whereas now I feel like I look at my body naked a lot more than have I ever looked at it before. I’m like, these boobies feed Jude. It’s just so amazing and I wish, actually, I’d appreciated my body a lot more before.”
