Stacey Solomon has opened up about the trolling she received online, after she shared a photo of herself using a breast pump.
The 30-year-old shared her story on Loose Women today –Â after the panel discussed the rise of celebrities, such as Rachel McAdams and Pink, showing themselves pumping on social media.
Speaking on the show, Stacey slammed those who accused her of posting the snap for attention.
“I wasn’t attention-seeking…. you don’t put the photos up to be sexy and ‘look at me!'”
‘To sit there and judge these women who can be going through hell and back just to feed their baby… I just think is cruel.’
Stacey defends mums who choose to pump breast milk in public.

“When you’re in the thick of it (breastfeeding), I don’t think it’s easy for a lot of women and you get so emotional, so emotive.”
“There’s been times I’ve pumped for two hours and only got 10ml of milk.”
“When you feel like you’re failing to feed, being open is that gets you through,” she added.
This isn’t the first time the former X Factor contestant has been faced with online criticism.
Earlier this month, Stacey admitted she feels “sorry” for online trolls, after she was forced to take a break from Instagram.
