Vogue Williams defends going back to work one week after welcoming her first child

Vogue Williams has defended her choice to briefly return to work just days after welcoming her first child with husband Spencer Matthews.

The presenter, 32, gave birth to a baby boy on September 5 and on Wednesday shared a update with her followers that she had 'work today', a week after her son arrived.

The star also posted videos of herself thanking her 'glam squad' for her hair and make-up, which appeared to draw the ire of some of her fans. 

Hitting back at the comments, The Jump star said it was her choice, that she had only taken part in one shoot and urged followers not to 'parent shame' her.

She wrote: 'So many messages about going back to work yesterday.

'1. It's my choice and I feel happy to,

'2. I'm not fully back to work yet. It was one shoot.

 '3. I only intend on taking jobs where I can have my baby with me as I'm breastfeeding so we shall be glued together for the next few months.

'4. I don't get maternity leave in my job so I'll obviously be going back sooner than others. 

'5. Let's not start the parent shaming already. He is eight days old and a VERY happy loved baby.'  

The couple - who tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in the Scottish Highlands in June - welcomed a 'beautiful and healthy' baby boy in the early hours of Wednesday morning. 

Taking to Instagram, the presenter posted: 'This morning at 3:55am, we welcomed our son into a quiet London hospital... He is beautiful and healthy. We feel truly blessed.'
