Amanda was recently slammed on social media for allowing her children to play on ice whilst also not wearing gloves.
During recent freezing weather, Amanda snapped a picture of her children on the ice, alongside the words: “Been slipping & skating around all week, but these lot have been doing it for fun.
“The water is incredibly shallow, only wet feet would result if the ice broke.”
Taking to the comments, one fan questioned whether the frosty activity was safe, stating: “No thin ice?”
Another remarked: “Not a pair of gloves between them.”
Despite the criticism others praised the mum of nine, with one follower gushing: “They’re sensible girls and you’re always there for them, they look as if they’re having so much fun love to you all.”
