Williams, who welcomed the arrival of her fourth child with her husband, Spencer Matthews, revealed a comment she received online while returning to her podcasting duties for a new episode, My Therapist Ghosted Me.
On the podcast, which she co hosts with Joanne McNally, Vogue said: "Someone left a comment on my and Amber’s pod and they were like, “A mother should not be out with their baby at all from a month old".
Vogue then revealed that she went on to sarcastically agree with the woman in question, that women ought to "stay at home for at least one or two years after giving birth".
