Ulrika Jonsson has jumped to defend Molly-Mae Hague from internet memes and trolling about her daughter’s name.
The Love Island star, 23, and boxer boyfriend Tommy Fury, also 23, welcomed baby Bambi on January 23.
Molly-Mae sent social media into a frenzy this week when she announced the adorable news, but was later met with confusion after sharing her daughter’s Disney-inspired name.
After posting a snap of baby Bambi’s nursery and showing the newborn lying in her cot, Molly-Mae was forced to turn off the comments on her Instagram, which boasts 7.1million followers, due to everyone having something to say.
Chatter only heightened when it came out that Bambi’s modern acrylic crib had cost the new parents around £5,000.
But, media personality Ulrika is not here for it, having praised Bambi’s name as ‘sweet enough.’

Writing for The Sun, the Swedish-British television presenter, 55, did argue that Bambi might not be such a fan of her moniker once she ‘gets to school age or starts dating.’
‘Hence, I chose a good trainspotter’s name for my youngest – Malcolm. You can’t argue with that,’ she wrote.
However, when it comes to backlash to Bambi’s lavish nursery, Ulrika argues people are merely jealous.
‘Of course, much of the criticism is based on envy,’ she wrote.

‘Molly-Mae is entitled to do whatever she wants with her money.’
Ulrika went on to reflect on her own experiences with motherhood, and the ‘pressure’ she felt for everything to be perfect.
‘It seemed that was all that mattered – neutral colours, the latest, best-quality products,’ she wrote.
‘Until my English Nana quietly reminded me that she just put her firstborn in the top drawer of her bedroom dresser – and he turned out all right. It was an important lesson.

‘It’s all too easy to concentrate on perfection when health and wellbeing should be the priorities ahead of the arrival.
‘Babies simply need to be fed and held and kept warm.’
Ulrika concluded by joking that her subsequent babies were ‘probably greeted by less folly,’ referring to herself as a ‘mere mortal’ in comparison with PrettyLittleThing creative director Molly-Mae.

‘Mere mortals can only dream of a nursery like little Bambi’s, who will be utterly oblivious to the overindulgence surrounding her,’ she added.
‘But then I suspect Bambi isn’t just any old newborn.
‘She’s going to help make Molly-Mae one of the greatest “mumfluencers” around.’
