Marnie Simpson took another swipe at her Geordie Shore co-stars in a furious rant on Instagram on Tuesday.
The reality star, 32, stars in the 24th series of the show reboot filmed in Cyprus alongside original cast members.
Marnie hit back at mum-shamers who criticised her parenting skills and said she was ‘shocked’ by some of the cast.
The television personality fell out with fellow mum Charlotte Crosby, 33, who left the show after getting into an argument over a high chair.
Marnie said the trip ‘massively upset’ her and she has been in tears over the ‘cruel’ comments made about her son Rox, four, who has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Marnie, who is also mum to son Oax, one, said: ‘Just want to say a huge thank you for all the support I’m receiving. It’s so upsetting to see comments being made about my four-year-old son, Rox is a hyper 4-year-old but aren’t most kids his age he was just excited to be away.
‘Rox’s ADHD doesn’t change how amazing, loving, funny and caring he is, he’s an innocent child and doesn’t deserve this, he was just having fun.’
ADHD is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
Marnie continued: ‘For close friends basically saying hurtful things about children, filming with my two boys was extremely scary and daunting putting myself out there for 100s of people to judge me as a parent especially because I know how full on they are and I’m always aware of other people’s feelings and I constantly felt like I was loosing control, the amount of pressure in Cyprus was so horrible.’
Marnie said she felt the pressure build up until she ‘exploded’ and ‘raised my voice’ during filming.
She said: ‘It was so tense and I didn’t know how to process all of that judgement. It’s not right.
‘One thing everyone knows about me is that I don’t often cry especially on camera and if I do it really does mean I’m upset and can’t hide it
‘But Cyprus did massively upset me, it was my honeymoon and all I did was try and make it a happy environment for my kids.’
Marnie said the ‘last thing she wanted was a clash’ and is ‘so upset’ her children were being spoken about.

Marnie said she just wanted to focus on her family ahead of her birthday on Thursday
Marnie said: Rox was so affectionate towards the babies. The whole way through that trip he would constantly stroke them and cuddle them and ask where they were’
‘To see close people around me judge me and be mean about my children is so upsetting, say anything you want about me but talking about my kids is below the belt and unforgivable and I’m still so shocked.’
She continued: ‘Rox was so affectionate towards the babies. The whole way through that trip he would constantly stroke them and cuddle them and ask where they were.
“Everyone there said “aww Rox is so sweet towards the babies”, so for people to be mean to him knowing this is sick, messed up and evil FACT.”
Marnie and Charlotte, who has 15-month-old daughter Alba with fiancé Jake Ankers – unfollowed each other on Instagram after the row in Cyprus.
Charlotte flew home after filming the show for just two days last year, and she was left ‘sad, paranoid and anxious’ about the after-effects of her exit.
Speaking on her Always On podcast, Charlotte said: ‘It just ended up going so terribly wrong. I don’t know why but the whole series, I later discovered, was a bit weird. I didn’t expect it to go the way that it did, and for that reason I am sad.
‘I’m sad for loads of reasons. I’m sad that I took Alba and Jake, my family, into a show that I loved so much and it went so badly wrong.
‘I feel like I could cry talking about it. I felt an immense amount of guilt for not knowing better. I just thought we were going to have such a good time.
‘We didn’t not. We did have some good times. Listen, it was fun. I was only in there for two days, but we had some lovely times in quarantine.
‘There was a silly argument, over a high chair of all things, that escalated. And I just left. I just needed to get out of that environment.’
