Jake Quickenden has shared his heartbreak after vile trolls shared disgusting comments about his newborn son.
The X Factor star, 32, took to Instagram to hit back at the haters, who he said had called his four-week-old baby Leo "ugly" and said the tot needed Botox.
He shared an adorable photo of Leo, who Jake shares with his girlfriend Sophie Church, wearing a blue babygro.
Jake wrote: " "REAL POST... So in the past week this little man has been told he needs Botox, that he's ugly as f**k and that he's weird looking, me myself have also been told stay off social media if you don't want to be trolled, it's so baffling to me that I should have to stay off social media if I don't want my 4 week old trolled.
"I don't mind people giving me s**t, as sad as it is I've had to get used to being called 'irrelevant' 'ugly' 'attention seeking' nd the list goes on but to troll a innocent child is so wrong and the people doing it seriously need to seek help.
"Also why should I stay off social media if I don't want him trolled the thought process of some people is shocking, maybe people just shouldn't troll.
"I enjoy social media it's full of lovely people who are supportive and I like sharing my ups and downs, I try and be real as possible, but unfortunately there is a dark side of social media and something needs doing about it.
"Anyway rant over!! The lion is 4 weeks today! Cute af."
He finished the post by tagging the Instagram account he has set up for his son.
Jake said: "Love you son @leooliverq."
He was then sent messages of support from his celebrity friends.
Jordan Banjo commented: "My bro, that's one thing none of us can understand, we can be as polite as we want but sometimes people get comfortable because there’s a screen there, one day they'll do it to the wrong person, what goes around comes around."
"Sending nothing but LOVE," AJ Pritchard posted.
Dan Osborne wrote: "Brother, lots of nasty c**ts in the world & they feel brave through a screen.
"We will never understand that type of species, they're not human, just absolute scum.
"Keep your chin up mate, as you know, Leo is a cute, handsome chap, always will be I mean look at his dad & mum!
"The genes are insane. Ignore the t**ts, also even if someone's baby come out with 6 eyes people shouldn't comment negatively on a child! Winds me right up. Love to you all bro."
