Billie Faiers slammed after posting this pouting picture of daughter Nelly, 2
The Towie babe came under fire for the pair's very lippy selfie
TOWIE'S Billie Faiers proved it was a case of like mother, like daughter when she pouted up a storm with her firstborn Nelly.
But their lippy picture has sparked a flurry of criticism over her parenting.
Billie uploaded a snap showing her and the adorable youngster, aged two, puckering up to the camera.
The former Towie mum can be seen on the right of the image cuddling the youngster to her chest with the blondes both looking directly into the lens and pursing their lips.
She uploaded the image to picture-sharing site Instagram with the words: "Today my little lady mastered her pout."
She followed up with Emoji wink icons and kisses as well as cheeky monkeys.
Yet some followers didn't see the funny side, with one ranting: "What a ridiculous thing to teach your daughter!".
Another added: "Just no," while one warned Billie, who will give birth to her second child next year: "Your baby will come out pouting."
A seemingly concerned fan then wrote under the snap: "Aw no, we shouldn't be encouraging our daughters to pout."
Yet the majority of the ex reality TV star's fans hit back on her behalf.
They also took to the site to gush about how sweet they thought the snap was and one said: "She's the cutest little girl," while another added: "How cute is Nelly, wish my pout was this good."
Her super-cute daughter, Nelly, seems to agree.
Billie revealed: "I say to her do you want a baby brother or baby sister and she says: 'I want a baby Paul!'
"It's so cute!"
Billie's younger sister Sam, 25, gave birth to Paul in December 2015.
She and her partner, Paul Knightley, then gave her fans a glimpse at their journey as parents in TV show Sam Faiers The Baby Diaries, which was swiftly followed by Sam Fairs - The Mummy Diaries.
