Samantha Faiers has been cruelly shamed for her parenting skills after posting an update on her summer adventures with her precious family.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star took to Instagram on Sunday to share a vacation snap of her with her three children, Paul, 7, Rosie, 5, and one-year-old Edward, much to the delight of her 2.5m followers. Sam, 32, captioned the adorable photo, "My greatest blessings." While she didn't tag their location, it appears to have been taken at a hotel resort. The post was inundated with kind comments, many of which gushed over how big her youngest tot has grown.

"Edward’s face," one person noted with a laughing emoji, before adding, "He’s such a little character. Gorgeous kids. I miss watching you guys on tv."

"Aw, little man is growing so fast!" another person wrote, while one follower simply said, "Lovely picture."

Unfortunately, not everybody was so approving of the picture. One person appeared to criticise Sam's parenting of Edward, commenting that he looks "HUGE" before demanding to know, "What are you feeding it?" It didn't take long for the skincare entrepreneur's fans to clap back at the rude remark, with one person slamming it as "awful".

Sam revealed last year that she has struggled to breastfeed Edward, noting, "His latch hasn’t been as strong [as her two older children]. We’re getting there but it’s been a rocky road." The Essex native has been praised in the past for her advocacy of breastfeeding, after admitting in 2017 that she doesn't see "the big fuss" over the process.

“Millions of mums do it, it’s the most natural thing to do as a woman. I don’t see the big fuss," she told HuffPost, after revealing she always viewed breastfeeding as "normal."

Sam first shot to fame in 2010 on The Only Way Is Essex, before landing her own show with her older sister, Billie, after six seasons on the iconic reality series. Sam & Billie: The Mummy Diaries premiered on ITV in 2018 and ran for 65 episodes until 2021 when Sam, who now has three kids with partner Paul Knightly, announced her departure.

"I truly have watched all the most defining moments in my adult life play out on The Mummy Diaries; bringing two beautiful children into the world, my relationship with Paul, building my businesses, creating a home together as a family, and of course all the wonderful memories with Billie and my family," she said in a statement at the time.

"I'm so grateful to ITV and Potato for giving me and my children the best home movies anyone could ask for, I could never have imagined 7 years ago that we would still be here today- 9 series on! But more importantly, I will be forever appreciative to our incredible viewers."
