New mum Dani Dyer hits back at nasty trolls who slam her parenting skills

TV star Dani Dyer has opened up about mum-shamers who troll her with nasty comments on her parenting.

The. new mum has hit back at "rude and unhelpful" people who offer criticism or horrible comments on her parenting skills on social media.

The 24-year-old daughter of brit actor Danny Dyer, gave birth to baby son Santiago in January with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence by her side.

The former Love Island winner has a huge following on social media and shares updates and pictures on her Instagram of her new life as a mum.

She also stars on the Sorted With The Dyers podcast she hosts with famous dad Danny and while Dani says some commenters offer helpful advice, others are needlessly rude, reports The Mirror.

Appearing on the Made By Mammas podcast with Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton, she reflected on her experience with trolls and how to deal with them.

She said: "I don't think anyone can ever teach you.

"Some people are like 'oh I bet you're used to it because your dad was in the public eye', but I was like 'no, because the comments were never directed towards me'.

"My dad would get trolling and all negative [stuff] but because it wasn't me I thought all that stuff was bizarre

"When it's your dad it's pathetic what they're saying but when it's actually you it hurts."

She added: "Now, as a mother, you do get messages from women that aren't helpful, they're not supportive and they say things that you think I don't really need this right now.

"Sometimes they can be helpful saying 'my baby did this', or 'I did that', but when they're just really rude it's not helpful.

"I remember putting him in a coat and I took him on a little walk, I thought oh he looks cute let me take a picture of him in the car seat while he's sleeping, and I had messages off women saying 'you're going to make him suffocate, he's going to overheat in the car. If you have a car crash he's not going to be safe, he's not going to be protected in a car crash'.

"I thought oh my god why are you even saying that to me? Chill out! I've had a lot of that."
