Frankie, who is proud mum to Parker, seven, and Carter, five, said she is disgusted people could send Jake such horrible messages about his one-month-old son.
Speaking of her experience of the vitriolic messages she’s received, Frankie said: ‘I’ve had things written about me and people send me messages.
‘When I had the boys, anything that is said about them, it angers me so much. You go from 0 – 100 and I’m not that kind of person, I’m not like that about anything else.

‘But if they say anything about Wayne or my kids, I find it really hard to get over that and I don’t understand why you would feel the need to say that about someone’s child.
‘Even when I named Parker, Parker, people had an issue with it. I don’t really care now, but at the time I was like, “I thought about it for a long time and now everyone hates it.”
She added: ‘I think it takes a particular kind of person to say those things.’

‘Me myself have also been told stay off social media if you don’t want to be trolled, it’s so baffling to me that I should have to stay off social media if I don’t want my 4 week old trolled.
‘I don’t mind people giving me s**t, as sad as it is I’ve had to get used to being called ‘irrelevant’, ugly’, ‘attention seeking’ and the list goes on but to troll a innocent child is so wrong and the people doing it seriously need to seek help.’
Jake continued: ‘Also why should I stay off social media if I don’t want him trolled the thought process of some people is shocking, maybe people just shouldn’t troll.
‘I enjoy social media it’s full of lovely people who are supportive and I like sharing my ups and downs, I try and be real as possible, but unfortunately there is a dark side of social media and something needs doing about it.
‘Anyway rant over!! The lion is 4 weeks today! Cute af. Love you son @leooliverq’.
