Marnie Simpson took another swipe at her Geordie Shore co-stars in an angry rant on Instagram on Tuesday.
The reality star, 32, stars in the 24th series of the show’s reboot, filmed in Cyprus, alongside original cast members.
Marnie hit back at mum-shamers who criticized her parenting skills, saying she was ‘shocked’ by some of the cast.
The television personality fell out with fellow mum Charlotte Crosby, 33, who left the show after getting into an argument over a high chair.
Marnie said the trip left her ‘tremendously upset’ and she was in tears over the ‘cruel’ comments about her son Rox, four, who has ADHD.

Marnie, who is also mum to son Oax, one, said: ‘I would like to thank you so much for all the support I have been receiving. It is so upsetting to see comments being made about my four year old son. Rox is a hyper four year old, but he’s not like most kids his age, he was just excited to be away.
“Rox’s ADHD doesn’t change how wonderful, loving, funny and caring he is. He’s an innocent child and doesn’t deserve this, he was just having fun.”
ADHD is a behavioral disorder defined by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Marnie continued: ‘For close friends who actually said hurtful things about children, filming with my two boys was extremely scary and intimidating putting myself in front of hundreds of people to judge me as a parent, especially knowing how full they are and I ‘Because I am always aware of the feelings of others and I constantly felt like I was losing control, the pressure in Cyprus was so terrible.’
Marnie said she felt the pressure building until she “exploded” and “raised my voice” during filming.
She said: ‘It was so tense and I didn’t know how to process all that judgement. It’s not right.
‘One thing everyone knows about me is that I don’t cry often, especially on camera, and when I do, it really means I’m upset and can’t hide it
‘But Cyprus really upset me, it was my honeymoon and all I did was try to make it a happy environment for my children.’
Marnie said the ‘last thing she wanted was a clash’ and is ‘so angry’ that her children were being talked about.

Marnie said she just wanted to focus on her family ahead of her birthday on Thursday
Marnie said: Rox was so affectionate with the babies. Throughout the journey he constantly petted and cuddled them and asked where they were.’
‘To see people around me judging me and being mean about my children is so upsetting. Say whatever you want about me, but talking about my children is below the belt and inexcusable and I’m still so shocked.”
She continued, “Rox was so affectionate with the babies. Throughout the journey he continuously petted and cuddled them and asked where they were.
“Everyone there was like, ‘Aww Rox is so sweet to the babies,’ so for people to be mean to him knowing that is a sick, twisted, and evil FACT.”
Marnie and Charlotte, who have a 15-month-old daughter Alba with fiancé Jake Ankers, unfollowed each other on Instagram after the argument in Cyprus.
Charlotte flew home after filming the show for just two days last year, and was left ‘sad, paranoid and worried’ about the after-effects of her departure.
Speaking on her Always On podcast, Charlotte said: ‘It all went so terribly wrong in the end. I don’t know why, but the whole series, I discovered later, was a bit weird. I didn’t expect it to turn out this way, and that’s why I’m sad.
‘I’m sad for all kinds of reasons. I’m sad that I took Alba and Jake, my family, to a show I loved so much and it went so badly wrong.
‘I feel like I could cry talking about it. I felt extremely guilty because I didn’t know any better. I just thought we would have so much fun.
‘We didn’t do that. We did have some good times. Listen, it was fun. I was only there for two days, but we had some great times in quarantine.
‘There was a silly argument, mainly over a highchair, which escalated. And I just left. I just had to get away from that environment.’
