NO MATTER how sympathetic you are, most of us would agree that sitting next to a screaming baby on a flight is far from ideal.
But new mum Jorgie Porter says that no matter how annoying a baby’s cry might be it is no excuse for mum-shaming.
In fact, anyone who complains should expect an ear-full from the 35-year-old Hollyoaks star.
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, Jorgie, who has just returned from her third holiday with 9-month-old son Forest, says: “Taking the baby on holiday is obviously a bit scary.
“But to be honest, I don’t care if he cries the whole time, I just don’t care what people think.
“If someone complained, I’d just be like ‘Shut up you were a baby once and I’m sure you didn’t stop crying.’”

Jorgie has travelled with Forest a number of times during the early months, whisking him off on two sunny beach holidays including to Dubai at just four months old, and says she’s learnt to ignore the eye rolls of mum-shamers.
She previously told us: “I am a person who doesn’t listen or take in what anyone really says negatively.
“If anything I block them, I’ve probably lost more followers blocking them, rather than caring what they think.
“But mum shaming no, I don’t even listen, I don’t even take it in.”
