Georgina Burnett found herself under fire earlier this week as she shared a post on Instagram that appeared to reveal she was pregnant.
This Morning‘s resident Home Genie shared a snap of herself in silhouette on April 1. The picture showed her in the hallway of her home in a black-and-white snap. In the picture, she could be seen cradling her stomach. It was captioned: “News!”
And, while many realised that she was joining in with the April Fool’s Day jokes, others slammed the star for sharing the post, branding it “insensitive”.
Georgina Burnett slammed over ‘pregnant’ April Fool’s post
Earlier this week, Georgina was one of many stars sharing April Fool’s Day jokes. However, hers backfired.
In her post, Georgina appeared to allude she was making a baby announcement. When her followers realised it was an April Fool’s Day joke, the complaints poured in.
This is deeply hurtful to the huge number of women suffering with infertility.
“This is deeply hurtful to the huge number of women suffering with infertility,” said one. “Did you know one in six couples has trouble falling pregnant? You would do well to consider this before making ‘jokes’ about such sensitive topics in the future.”
Another added: “Incredibly insensitive if this is a joke.” A third said: “Yikes. Not funny at all.” “Not funny if this is an April Fool’s joke,” said another. “Joking about pregnancy. Aren’t you clever… disrespectful little madam!” said another very angry follower.
‘Pinch punch… a puppy or kitten!’
However, others did get the joke, with one commenting: “Good one, you nearly had me.”
