Emmerdale’s Charley Webb slams mummy-shamers after she’s criticised over parenting skills
EMMERDALE actress Charley Webb has hit back at trolls who have criticised her parenting skills.
The mum-of-three has revealed just how she deals with mummy-shaming people on the internet.
Charley opened up about how proud she is of being a mum to her boys and revealed how she deals with mummy-shaming trolls.
The soap veteran told OK! magazine: “Mainly I just block it out. I’m not really interested in what anyone else thinks. Everyone parents differently.
“Matthew and I are big on routines, but I won’t judge parents who aren’t.”
“These people comment just to get a response. I find that so bizarre and I don’t respond.”
Emmerdale’s Charley said she is so protective over her brood – and dotes on her three kids Buster, nine, Bowie Grey, three, and newborn baby Ace.
“I’m a very protective mum anyway. It’s an animal instinct. I’m constantly worrying about them.”
Meanwhile just earlier this month she took aim at trolls who criticised her for letting her sons have long hair and claimed the boys “look like girls”.
Not one to take the abuse lying down, Charley who is married to co-star Matthew Wolfenden – took to her Instagram to silence the haters.

The actress, 31, posted a picture of her eldest son Buster, 9, sporting shiny shoulder-length locks and wearing a t-shirt with the slogan Long Hair, Don’t Care #Boy.
Alongside the snap Charley wrote a lengthy caption which hit back at her critics.
She said: “I get asked so many times on here why my kids have got long hair. ‘Why don’t you cut it?’ Or, ‘they look like girls’. The answer is really simple, because we like it and more importantly they like it.
“I absolutely don’t feel like I need to explain it to anyone who has an opinion but I just think life would be so much easier if we all just focused on our own lives. Don’t let my kids hair worry you.”
The Bury-born lass, who plays Debbie Dingle in the ITV soap, continued her tirade against keyboard warriors, adding: “I think people think they have a right to have an opinion because of social media. Maybe you do. But try keeping it to yourself, it’s not important to us what you think of how our kids look. Or how we look. Or their names or whatever it is you might want to comment on.
