Pregnant Laura Whitmore hits back at trolls ‘fed up’ with her baby bump posts
LAURA Whitmore has clapped back at Instagram trolls who said they were "fed up" with her showing off her baby bump.
The 35-year-old, who announced she was pregnant earlier this month, shared a photograph of herself cradling her bump on Saturday night.
Following reports of a secret wedding to boyfriend Iain Stirling, who the TV presenter stars alongside in Love Island, Laura revealed the pair were expecting.
She shared a photo of her blossoming bump while glammed up and dressed in black lace underwear, reclining on a white sofa.
"Guess it's the sofa for the next while so..." Laura wrote in response to the news that London and the South East were moving into Tier 4 restrictions.
While many fans found the post amusing, and shared their love for her baby news, trolls took the opportunity to spread hate.
Laura wasn't to let it ruin her joy - and hit back at the bitter Instagram users, defending her pregnancy snaps.
"Where's your dignity, girl? Less it more," wrote one cruel follower, with Laura responding alongside a thinking emoji: "Where's yours?"
Another critic added: "You were literally saying two minutes ago that you weren't promoting your pregnancy. Literally bored of it already."
Laura quickly replied: "Looks more like I'm 'promoting' my upcoming sofa use..."
Another hater added: "It seems you just shared the announcement to be able to strut around in underwear and show off your bump? It's a bit confusing."
Laura clapped back: "Or now I'm in a place where I'm comfortable and want to take control instead of other people trying to.
"What's odd is coming on someone else's page and judging wouldn't you agree?"

When a fourth shamed her for "showing off" her bump, she calmly added: "It's my choice what I show, quite simple really."

"Stunning - wish I looked so good at 6 months pregnant so enjoy every minute," wrote one woman, with another responding: "So empowering".
