Charlotte Crosby has hit back at mum-shamers after pranking her followers with a hilarious snap of her baby daughter Pixi on a flight to the Maldives.
The Geordie Shore star, 35, was travelling from Dubai to the Maldives with her fiancé Jake Ankers, daughter Alba, three, and Pixi, 11 months.
Due to their flight being delayed, the couple decided to entertain Pixi inside the aircraft by playing with her.Â
Charlotte snapped a moment where Jake lifted the tot next to a fire exit sign, and she grabbed onto it.
Sharing the image to her Instagram Stories, the reality star edited her partner out of the snap to make it look like Pixi was hanging up there by herself.
Charlotte joke:Â ‘We couldn’t find Pixi anywhere on the flight.Â

‘We could just hear her laughing … then we looked up and she was HANGING from the exit sign. What’s she like these second children are wild!!
‘Gunna have to watch her closely in Maldives or she might be off on the jet skis before Yano it. ‘
After posting the snap, the reality star was inundated with messages from the ‘mum police’ who were ‘losing their s***’ in her DMs after assuming Pixi was dangling from the fire exit sign herself.
Once Charlotte and Jake arrived at their holiday home, the star was forced to inform her followers that the picture had been edited and was simply a joke. Â
Sharing a selfie looking exhausted, she wrote:Â ‘Right we have landed in the Maldives wait until I tell you all the adventure it took to get here … BUT FIRST why have I been getting sooooo many messages of people kicking off at Pixi doing pull ups on the fire exit sign!
‘Let the girl live for gods sake!!!!!!! LMAO come on yous! You didn’t actually think that was real did you?Â
‘I just photoshopped Jake out we were delayed for ages on the run way and bored! And couldn’t stop laughing at how Pixi looked like she was dangling herself!
‘When I tell you the mam police have been losing their s*** in my inbox!’

In another Instagram Story, Charlotte shared a screenshotted Direct Message from someone who took her joke seriously.
They said: ‘Not guna lie that’s just scruffy. ‘Can’t find my child’ are you joking, on a flight. Your confined to your seats for god sake.
‘Your surely not that busy that your child/baby just mooches off round the plane get a grip!! For god sake!! (sic)’
Writing over the screenshotted DM, Charlotte said:Â ‘This message in particular really made me lol … At how serious they thought I was being.’
It comes after Charlotte revealed she was £300,000 in debt after the ‘business mistake’ of launching a clothing brand.
The reality TV favourite confessed she was still waiting for the business, Pepper Girls Club, to bring in more cash to pay off what she’d already invested.
Taking to Instagram, Celebrity Big Brother winner Charlotte revealed she hadn’t yet got a ‘penny’ of the money she used to start the brand.
While the clothing brand has an impressive 256k followers on social media, the number hasn’t translated to enough sales for Charlotte to pay herself back.

Speaking in a candid video, Charlotte said of owning the business: ‘The hardest thing with Pepper Girls Club is I have literally put so much money into this business, and that is no word of a lie.
‘I’ve put about £300k into this business over the last eight years, and I haven’t received a penny of that back.
‘The company is only in debt to me, which is fine. I would love to get it to the point where I can start to get some of that money back, but it’s just not there yet.
‘A lot of people who start businesses have the opportunity to get investment from people, but honestly, I have tried so hard, and I get the door slammed in my face.
‘I remember, I went to a meeting with someone who was going to invest, and their accountant told me that Pepper Girls Club would do good the day that pigs would fly.’
Charlotte admitted she’d made a ‘big business mistake’ by ‘spending too much money on photoshoots’.
She revealed that a summer collection shoot in Ibiza saw her splash ‘about 20 grand [£20,000]’.
Nonetheless, Charlotte remains optimistic that the business will pull through, saying that it has ‘come a long way’ since it first opened.
She concluded: ‘We have so many loyal customers, we are a business that’s been able to employ more and more people, so I think a victory is that we are growing. We are going in the right direction.’
