Coleen Rooney hits back in typical Scouse fashion after critics slam her kids using Ipads

Coleen Rooney has hit back at her critics in typical Scouse fashion after she was slammed for posting a picture of her kids glued to their iPads.

The mum-of-four was slammed on social media, after she shared a snap of one-year-old Cass, Kit, three, and Klay, six, sat playing on their devices in a park in Washington.

But some parents hit out at the 33-year-old WAG, saying she should be 'letting' her kids run around, rather than spend time on an iPad.

However, Coleen has clapped back at the haters, saying that her children often use their iPads for educational purposes.

Writing a response on Twitter, Coleen said: "calm down, calm down... yes my children have and use iPads!!!

"And even my 15 month old watches Peppa Pig on one would you believe!!

"They come in handy sometimes and can be very educational. Mathletics and spelling apps are used all time by Kai and Klay ... check them out."

She added: "Criticism entertains me sometimes!! Relax."

Friend and TV supernanny Jo Frost supported Coleen, saying: "They do come in handy for parents looking for a quick bit of relief and also can be educational as well as entertaining .

"I'm sure you would also agree 15 months need more education interactive learning and toddlers certainly need parents who will regulate use too."

Coleen replied: "The educational quick thinking tests are brilliant .... To be honest my little ones don’t want to spend much time on them anyway!!

"Three brothers and mum and dad in the house ....what better way for interaction than with each other."
