Sam Faiers went to the zoo with her children yesterday and received a lot of negative comments for doing so.
The reality star spent the day at Paradise Wildlife Park with her two-year-old son, Paul and her nine-month-old daughter, Rosie.
She took to Instagram and posted pictures of their family day out, sharing them with her 2.1 million followers.
The Mummy Diaries star captioned her snaps:
“Fun family morning out. Paul’s favourite thing is animals so wonderful to see his little face light up when he sees them in the real ☺️”

The mum of two’s post did not go down well though. She came under fire from many people who felt she was wrong to have taken her little ones to the animal park.
Thousands of people responded. One user wrote:
“Beautiful animals like that should not be locked up. That poor lioness going out of her mind. Shame on you”
While another said:
“If you think that lioness is happy then you’re deluded. She’s pacing up and down, stressed and frustrated. This isn’t how you should show your son animals.”
However, a lot of people defended the doting mum and asked users to leave her alone. One of her fans said:
“People are so quick to be so nasty to other people. Simply say you don’t agree with it but don’t be nasty to the person, she’s just a mum at the end of the day and everyone has different views on the issue.”
Sam has not responded to any of the comments but the wildlife park have. Their official Instagram account commented on her post and said:
“It was great to have you and your family down here again @samanthafaiers.”
“Our White Lioness is walking along the front as she is waiting for our Keepers who were soon to bring her and the family their lunch! [sic]”
