I’ll get stick for piercing my baby daughter’s ears but she looks lovely in diamond earrings, says Towie’s Frankie Essex
FORMER Towie star Frankie Essex is preparing to "get stick" for getting her six-month-old daughter's ears pierced.
The mum of twins has baby Luella wearing diamond earrings - and "looks so lovely".
Writing in her column about how Luella reacted, Frankie said: "Luella cried, but then I put a dummy in her mouth and she was laughing. She was absolutely fine, and then she forgot about it.
"She looks so lovely and Luke [her dad] thinks she looks really different. She has real diamonds in and she’s only six months old! She’s definitely my child.
"I don’t know if I’m going to get stick for getting them done because a lot of people have opinions about that.
"But if she didn’t get them done now, she would probably have to wait until she was a teenager, just getting it done now means it’s done, plus if she doesn’t like them when she’s older, she can take them out."
