Charlotte Dawson mum-shamed after giving 11-month-old son a Percy Pig sweet as trolls say ‘he’ll be in hospital choking’
CHARLOTTE Dawson has revealed how she was viciously mum-shamed - simply for giving her baby a sweetie.
The 29-year-old, who welcomed her son with fiancé Matthew Sarsfield last January, was subjected to vicious taunts online.
She told how Noah was treated to a Percy Pig sweet and online trolls went bonkers.
"Noah has avocado and scrambled eggs on toast now," she told Fabulous.
"Although, I gave him a Percy Pig the other day and [trolls] went mad. I had messages like: ‘He’ll be in the hospital choking.’
“It’s a nightmare, honestly.
"Being a mum is hard enough, we don’t need mum trolling. We’re all learning as well. Motherhood does not come with a textbook, we’re just winging it. We should all be supporting each other.”
Charlotte also told Fabulous how she was reminded of losing her dad Les Dawson when she was just Noah's age.

“My dad died when I was Noah’s age," she said. "When Noah turned eight months old in September, it broke my heart.
"He’s already such a character and the way he lights up when he’s with his dad… It really hurts that my dad died when I was that age."
Les, who was one of Britain’s most-treasured comedians, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes just before his death from a heart attack in June 1993, aged 62.
Celebs Go Dating star Charlotte might have won legions of fans for the realness of her Instagram posts – where she proudly showed off her rolls of belly fat and talked about her love of chips and gravy – but the doctor’s warning that her blood sugar was so high she would also end up with the condition if she didn’t massively shake up her lifestyle, was the wake-up call she needed to get healthy.
“I think about Noah with my dad [what it would be like if they had met] and it breaks my heart. Although I feel like he is my dad reincarnated.
"Honest to god, I actually do – he is so funny. So when I found out [about the possible diabetes diagnosis], all I could think about was being around for Noah. I don’t want to die. I had to change.”
