Pamela Flood has opened up about the criticism she received from people who thought she dissed young mums.
The TV star received flack from people calling her selfish after revealing she was pregnant at age 43 – and the now 44-year-old responded by insisting she was more responsible at this age than she was in her 30s.
“I said when you’re 30 and you’re pregnant and you just wanna get the baby out so you can go on the lash. I was making an extreme example to say I don’t think what I’m doing is selfish or irresponsible,” she explained.

“People read the quotes from the interview and thought ‘she’s attacking 30-year-olds’. One of the first comments was ‘I’m 23 and I love my kids,’ and I remember thinking, I didn’t say you didn’t love your kids, where did this come from?”
Pamela revealed she thinks there’s a negative mentality running through social media.
“I think there is a certain mentality out there in social media land, they just want to jump on the hate train and they ain’t getting off ’til they draw blood,” she told Colette Fitzpatrick on Newstalk.

The blonde beauty also admitted that she wishes she had met her partner Ronan years earlier so they could have had more children together.
“I wish I’d met Ronan earlier, I wish I’d met him 5 years earlier if I did I’d say we would be having 4,” she said.
