The post, which appeared to be sponsored, reads; "Hide and seek! Found ?? in our new 18kg washing machine from Cater Wash the best thing I've found to get my washing done quicker. Making housework soooo much easier because I can wash loads at once!!" Many of Katie's followers were shocked at the sight of the girl inside the machine.

"Many stories of children dying in washing machines, not good," commented one. "If the machine had been out on to an automatic timer setting, and the door shut while she was inside, she'd be on far more serious state than she is in this photo. Such a pathetic and mindless thing to do." "Really stupid thing to post." "Omg! Dangerous Katie, my 11yr old twins follow u, will have to speak to them about this as what if the door closes! And even worse she doesn't get found playing the game."

The dangers of children and washing machines have been publicised before, but some fans defended the star.

"Yes I'm sure Katie was gonna put it on a boil wash with extra spin! Anyone criticising this Is just THICK." "Oh people get a grip . What kid does not try to Hide in a washing machine when playing hide and seek." "Why shouldn't she post what she wants?" "It's disgusting how many people think they can always judge another parents choices!"
