Saturdays star Frankie Bridge has delivered a powerful clapback against online mum-shamers who targeted her family's luxurious holiday to Dubai. The singer and television personality found herself facing unwarranted criticism after sharing glimpses of their sun-soaked getaway on social media.
In a candid response, Bridge highlighted the impossible standards mothers are held to, stating that 'mums can't win' regardless of their choices. The 35-year-old emphasised that the holiday was a precious opportunity for family bonding and creating lasting memories with her two sons, Parker and Carter.
The criticism centred around several aspects of their trip:
- Comments about the luxury nature of their Dubai accommodation
- Judgments about travelling during term time
- Unsolicited opinions about parenting choices
Bridge addressed the backlash with remarkable grace, pointing out that the holiday was carefully planned and represented quality family time away from their busy schedules. The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant has been increasingly vocal about the pressures of modern parenting and the constant scrutiny mothers face in the public eye.
This incident highlights the growing phenomenon of mum-shaming, particularly towards celebrities who share their family lives online. Bridge's response has resonated with parents across the UK, many of whom have experienced similar judgment about their parenting decisions.
The star, who has been open about her mental health struggles in the past, emphasised the importance of ignoring negative comments and focusing on what's best for her family. Her dignified response has been met with widespread support from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
