Maria Fowler was on the receiving end of some negative comments after she asked ans for advice on getting ready for her delivery date.
With her baby due in September, The Only Way Is Essex star took to Twitter to ask fans for help in an effort to look good when she gives birth.
Maria wrote:
"Anyone know where in Derby I can get really good lash extensions in September ready for due date please? Gotta look nice in hospital pics."

Gotta look nice on hospital pics
However well intentioned, the reality star was quick to feel the backlash from followers as they made their feelings know.
The comments got pretty nasty as most of them have since been removed by Twitter but the remaining few give you an insight into the type of feedback the star got.
@MariaFowler seriously that would be the last thing I'd worry about, u will be in so much pain u won't even care what u look like.

Maria's fans weren't far behind however, and quick to defend the star's choice.
@MariaFowler I looked a right state after a 4 day stay in hospital before birth. If lashes make you feel good, go for it.

@MariaFowler my waters broke before I went into labour so I used that time to shave everywhere and put a face on! Always helps to feel good

But it seems Maria has had enough of the negative online trolling and wasn't afraid to hit back.
"Having a baby doesn't mean you can't look nice," she posted on social media.
Yeah, which is why i want it done in advance having a baby doesn't mean you can't look nice. https://t.co/fs69yxXM6T

I want individual lashes not makeup on. why the moral high ground over looking natural. You won't get a medal for it https://t.co/xpSKDv99I0
