As Michelle and former The Only Way is Essex star Mark enjoyed auntie and uncle cuddles with their baby nephew, Mark shared on his Instagram: "We finally met our little premature warrior Dustin. He’s perfect and was so worth the wait."

But the comments section filled with comments asking the couple when they were planning to start a family of their own. "When you two going to have a little one," one asked. "About time you 2 had a baby," said another. A third quizzed: "When are use going to start a beautiful family." A fourth added: "Hurry when are you having babies."

The messages didn't go down well with fans of the couple, who married in 2015, and they quickly jumped in to clap back. @sunshine_n_star said: "The best bit about being an uncle/aunty is you can give them back. Ignore the intrusive comments some people lack the brain capacity to realise its none of their business."

Saintsrthebest wrote: "Can’t believe what some people have written asking you both when you are having one it’s no one else’s business. I find this really rude."

They added: "It’s so hurtful as we do and it’s not happening so saving hard for ivf. I know people who have lost and it’s so sad, and people who don’t want any which is also fine to, it’s no one’s else business people need to think and be more kind as it can be very upsetting."

And milly_allan_ said: "Some of the comments of people so inconsiderate. It's so wrong for people to ask this people will announce when they are pregnant or want to have one in their personal life."
