The antiques expert was even asked if she was "ashamed" by her baby daughter

Natasha Raskin Sharp has faced a handful of cruel comments from social media users following one of her latest updates with her baby daughter.

The 38-year-old gave birth back in January to her daughter Jean and has regularly shared snaps of the tot with her 33.6k Instagram followers.


However, Raskin Sharp has opted to hide her daughter's face throughout the series of updates shared on her social media page.

The Bargain Hunt star will often share snaps of baby Jean looking away or use emojis to cover her daughter's identity.

This decision came under fire in one of Raskin Sharp's latest updates, however, when some decided to question her parenting decision.

Raskin Sharped had shared a snap of her baby daughter meeting "Uncle James & Uncle Phil" - Bargain Hunt stars James Braxton and Philip Serrell - and used a frog emoji to cover Jean's face.

"Forgive me if I’m a little ill-prepared for tonight’s show on @bbcradioscot," Raskin Sharp penned in the caption.

"Uncle James & Uncle Phil just dropped by! Regardless, I’ll be on air at 10pm…join me via @bbcsounds if you fancy. X."

While several followers were overjoyed at seeing Jean meeting her mother's co-stars some hit out at the antiques expert.

"I wish we could see the baby, I really don’t know what the reason is," one follower questioned before a second asked: "Why not show baby’s face? Are you ashamed of him?"

One of the users even doubled down on their stance: "If she doesn’t want anyone to see the baby then she should leave her out of photos. Grow up."

Raskin Sharp ignored the comments but several of her fans were quick to hit back at the harsh remarks.

"Why are you not showing your face? Are you ashamed of it?" one fan hit back, noticing the aforementioned user hadn't included a profile picture.

A second also argued: "Baby Jean is a she and if they don't want to show her to the world that's their choice."

"What an ignorant statement and question," a third user raged.

Elsewhere, a fourth weighed in: "Disagree with earlier comments, covering her face is your choice! Couldn't ask for two better uncles. Will be listening tonight."

It appears Raskin Sharp has ignored the comments altogether, continuing to post heartwarming updates of her baby girl.
