“It’s such a beautiful incredible thing that women’s bodies can do and you should be able to post about it without getting gross sleazy comments.”

Jess Shears has called out a number of social media users for leaving inappropriate comments on a picture of her breastfeeding her baby son.

Jess, who appeared on Love Island in 2017, recently welcomed her second child with fellow former contestant Dom Lever. While Jess has shared a few pictures of her baby boy, she has also addressed how she has been hit with “sleazy” remarks in  some of the comments sections.

Taking to her Instagram story, she wrote: “Why must gross men comment inappropriate things on images of women breastfeeding.

“It’s actually disgusting. It’s such a beautiful incredible thing that women’s bodies can do and you should be able to post about it without getting gross sleazy comments.”

Jess, however, also received many positive comments on the picture.

Vicky Pattison wrote, “You are amazing,” while Faye Winter described he as an “incredible woman”.

Fans also praised Jess for sharing the breastfeeding picture.

“Love breastfeeding posts,” one fan wrote. “Actual real life.”

Another penned: “This picture is just goddess vibes.”

Jess and Dom first met during the third season of Love Island. The pair coupled up on Day 6, but Jess was subsequently dumped from the island on Day 17.

A year later, the couple secretly tied the knot in Mykonos, Greece. They welcomed their first son two years ago, before announcing that they were expecting again earlier this year.

Towards the end of June, Jess shared the news of their second arrival on Instagram with a sweet photo of her two children.

“Feeling blessed,” she wrote. “A family of four.”

Dom also shared a series of photos of their new child and wrote: “Baby we did it AGAIN!!”
