Mum of Louis Tomlinson's son forced to deny bizarre 'fake baby' rumours

Briana Jungwirth has hit back at ‘sick and cruel’ rumours that her and the Doncaster One Direction star's baby is a doll.

The conspiracy, by crazed fans of the boy band, says that the baby has been ‘faked’ to cover up a relationship between Tomlinson and fellow band member Harry Styles.

As the rumours gathered pace, Jungwirth was forced to respond to say how hurtful it had been to hear that people believe her baby doesn’t exist.

‘Sorry but that is just cruel,’ she wrote on an Instagram image posted by a news outlet that showed the shot of Louis holding baby Freddie with the baby cut out and replaced with question marks and the caption: ‘where’s Freddie? #LarryIsReal’

‘I don’t usually speak out much, but I’d like to know how would you feel as a new proud mother reading something like this?

‘How dare anyone call my child fake. That’s sick and morally wrong. Say all you’d like but I won’t let anyone take away the happiness I have for my baby son. I know Louis won’t either.’

Commenters were quick to support the young mum. One wrote: "This is so stupid, are you aware that you are bullying a baby?’
