Jools Oliver hits back at mum who shamed her for 'slim' pic
The mum-of-five was criticised online
Jamie Oliver's wife Jools has been criticised by a fan for posting a picture of herself in a pair of pinstripe trousers.
After giving birth to her youngest child, River Rocket just last month, the mum-of-five went on Instagram to thank a clothing company for her 'comfy' new trousers.
She wrote 'Thank you to the fab girls @aceandjig finally 'almost' fitting into these gorgeous trousers so comfy post little baby and beyond'.
Despite receiving hundreds of compliments from fans, one Instagram user wasn't happy with Jools' post.
Commenting on the snap, the user wrote 'Just saw a newspaper article about this photo and thought I'd come on here and comment (I don't usually comment on such things!) I am currently pregnant with my 2nd baby. And every minute of every day I'm scrutinising my weight etc. Pictures like this by naturally slim women DO NOT help! Shouldn't you be more concerned about bonding with your child rather than how quickly you fit back into your jeans? How is this supposed to help other women in the same situation who doesn't snap back so quickly? @joolsoliver' sic.
Clearly taken aback by the comment, Jools decided to reply to the angered woman to explain her reasoning behind the post.
She wrote '@yasmin_agg honestly it's about the trousers!!! I didn't even think about the weight!!! For God sake I still have heaps to lose as I said earlier my t-shirt hides a lot. It was merely a shout out to the lovely girls who sent me the trousers nothing more I hardly EVER put pictures up of myself and certainly not a 'selfie'. I am confident with my body before during and after my pregnancy and totally get that things don't go back to normal for at least 6 months to a year! If at all and 5 babies later I should know!
'The waist of the trousers is elasticated so prob would have fitted when I was 9 months pregs! As for bonding with my baby... I feel no need to address this is ridiculous. So please next time if I irritate you just unfollow me it was just meant to be a nice pic of a pair of good trews sic but has to turn into weight issue seems a bit weird and a total shame!'

Jools received ample amounts of support after sending the reply with fans defending the mum-of-five.
Jools welcomed baby River back in August with husband Jamie. The TV chef announced the happy news to fans along with a cute photo of the little one.
The couple then confirmed the name River Rocket a few weeks later. Since the birth, both Jamie and Jools have shared numerous photos of the new arrival, along with their four other children.
