Jake’s mother was yet to meet his mini me due to the pandemic, but in England  single adults living alone can form a support bubble with one other household.

The heartwarming post comes after Jake slammed vicious trolls who claimed his little one ‘needed Botox and was weird looking’.

He took to Instagram on Friday to hit back at the comments as he shared an adorable picture of his little boy in a blue babygrow. 

Jake also defiantly promised to keep posting updates as he enjoys sharing all the ‘ups and downs’, adding that those who ‘troll an innocent child need to seek help’. 

The I’m A Celeb star announced the birth of his first child in February and has spoken about trolls since several times.

Hitting back at the trolls, the proud dad penned: ‘REAL POST… So in the past week this little man has been told he needs Botox, that he’s ugly as f**k and that he’s weird looking.

‘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.

Awful: Jake also defiantly promised to keep posting updates as he enjoys sharing all the ‘ups and downs’, adding that those who ‘troll an innocent child need to seek help’ 

‘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’ 

Jake recently revealed he’s been forced to ‘question humanity’ after his ‘defenceless’ newly born son was viciously trolled online.

He told MailOnline he’s lost hope in society following nasty comments – including death threats – baby Leo received when he was just a few hours old.

In an exclusive interview, Jake, who currently stars in MTV show Celebrity Bumps: Famous & Pregnant, admitted he was used to being targeted after a decade of working in TV – but his son being victimised hit him harder.

‘He’s my little best mate’: As well as being a dad to Leo, Jake has also grown close to girlfriend Sophie’s seven-year-old son, Freddie, who she has from a previous relationship
