EastEnders’ Jacqueline Jossa shows her support for Sam Faiers after breastfeeding photo
Sam received criticism for her snap
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers has received criticism in the past for sharing intimate photos of herself breastfeeding, but now EastEnders actress and fellow mum Jacqueline Jossa has shown her support for the reality star.
Sam’s latest photo sparked a debate on social media when she shared a snap of herself feeding baby Paul next to her niece Nelly. She captioned the shot with, ‘Love my family missed my sister and nelly soo much. #madhouse #family #love #feedingtime xxx.’

Although most of Sam’s followers defended the star, certain online trolls left negative comments on her snap, including, ‘What an attention seeking photo. Why try and cause a riot you know what this picture will do’.
After seeing the comments, Jacqueline, who is mum to one-year-year Ella Osbourne, commented on Sam’s snap with the words, 'I don't understand why you people follow her if you don't want to see her breastfeeding she's very open and you must know she posts whatever she wants, if it makes you uncomfortable just unfollow, don't write stupid comments'.
After arriving late to the studios, the reality star admitted she didn’t have time to feed Paul so did it as she was interviewed by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield and covered herself with a towel.

Although many viewers praised Sam for her ‘refreshing’ choice, some believed she was only doing it for the publicity.
Sam, who appeared on TOWIE between 2010-2014, welcomed baby Paul into the world with her partner Paul Knightley in December 2015 and often shares adorable snaps of the little one to her social media accounts.
Speaking just last month, Sam admitted she would love a more children but would like to marry her partner Paul first.
