Lydia Bright hits back at mum-shamers as she doubles down on choosing to co-sleep with her daughter instead of partner
LYDIA Bright has hit back at mum-shamers as she doubles down on her sleeping arrangements.
The former Towie personality caused a stir when she admitted to choosing to co-sleep with her daughter instead of her partner.
Lydia Bright, 34, previously came under fire over a sweet video she posted of her five-year-old little girl.
In the sweet clip, her tot Lorretta – whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin – could be seen fast asleep next to her mum.
However, some cruel trolls said she should not be letting her child sleep next to her, if she wants to find a new man.
The ITVBe beauty addressed the controversy head on as she took to her Instagram story with an explanation.
She wrote: “This post was simply to highlight the beauty of co-sleeping.
Something that’s embraced in so many cultures around the world, yet is unusual here in the UK.
“I wanted to just say, mums to trust your own maternal instinct.
“Do what feels right for you and your child, not what society tells you is “normal”.
Lydia continued: “To those commenting ‘good luck finding a man’ or suggesting it’ll be a problem when I meet someone.
“I wouldn’t be with a man who wasn’t secure enough to respect the bond I share with my daughter.”
She added: “Her happiness will always come first, especially over my sex life. Sorry dad :D.”
Lydia previously responded to the backlash as she originally commented: “I had a relationship and it still remained the same sleeping arrangements.
“My daughter is my priority, I won’t be moving beds for no man.”
The former reality TV star is is back on the market after splitting with ex Ben Davies.
But fans might not need to worry as Lydia recently revealed that she’s signed up to a dating app.
