She wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the best step daddy to our three little nutters.”

The 32-year-old then shared a snap of her own father Arthur sitting with two of the little lads and wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the best dad and grandad.”

But she made no mention of her ex-husband Jamie O’Hara, the actual father of the three boys – Archie, five, Harry, four and two-year-old George.

And she received a mixed reaction from her followers with some on Twitter telling her she was wrong to snub Jamie, while others jumped to her defence.

One wrote: “A bad husband maybe, a bad Father, I doubt it! Using this photo to score points is awful.”

And another added: “How many step fathers have your kids had in the last couple of years?”

But others fought her corner and one wrote: “People commenting, she's not denying them a dad.. She's praising the man who is stepping up and prepared to be there for her and her children daily.

“Dads who cheat don't just cheat on the mother but they cheat on the children in my opinion. He made his bed.”

And another added: “Amazing photo. Some people to pipe down with their jealous views. You are boss Xxx.”

This is not the only praise Danielle had heaped on Michael over the way he is with her children and speaking to Closer magazine, she said he was very patient, particularly with Harry who may on the autism spectrum.

She said: “I'm so lucky because Michael has amazing patience! He's really good at reasoning with Harry and calming him down.

"All the boys love him and he plays games with them all the time, as well as doing the school run and helping me put them to bed.

"We don't have a nanny so it's a lifesaver. I couldn't have coped myself."

Meanwhile, Jamie, who was married to Danielle from 2012 to 2014, shared his own post of his boys and his stepdaughter, his girlfriend Elizabeth Tierney’s little girl, on Instagram.

And he wrote: “Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, I'm lucky to have such amazing and heathy children in my life that I love so much.”
