MailOnline has also contacted Jamie's representative for comment.

During his Twitter anger, Jamie had retweeted a sympathetic user who told him: 'fight it, men should have as much right as women and anyone can see what a great dad you are.'

Boys will be boys: Danielle regularly plays the doting mum, posting adorable snaps of her three young boys on Instagram

'He came over to me and said I was doing my squats wrong. He's certainly got the banter. He's a lovely guy.

'I dated a few men after my marriage ended but they were only ever interested in me and not so much my kids. But he was.'

And he's really not interested in being in the public eye. He found it stressful at first.'

She added that he designed her diamond engagement ring himself and had it specially made for her.

Although Jamie hasn't commented on Danielle's new relationship, when the Liverpool-born beauty posted an Instagram snap of Michael cuddling up to her son in March, she received backlash from fans who branded it insensitive to Jamie.

She clearly found the picture adorable, simply captioning it: 'The cutest' followed by a loveheart emoji.

But some of her fans thought otherwise, with one writing: 'Must be hard for the kids dad to see this. No need to post it on instagram.'

Another user commented on the photo: 'How many others has she doing the same.'

However, there were plenty of users who leapt to Danielle's defence and encouraged her to do what makes her happy.

'You keep doing what your doing!!' said one. 'Your children's happiness is key and they are clearly comfortable and happy. That should be a good thing.'
