A photo Chanelle Hayes shared on Instagram of her next to a picture of her son has been called 'inappropriate'. Do you think it's inappropriate or just some harmless fun?

Chanelle is no stranger to sparking debate and her latest post on Instagram is no exception to the rule.

She has raised a few eyebrows after sharing a throwback picture of herself, where she is stood completely naked on some stairs, next to a picture of her her one-year-old son Frankie, also doing the same pose.

Writing in the caption, 30-year-old Chanelle joked: 'Passing down knowledge from generation to generation. Taught this lad everything he knows 😂😂😂 #likemamalikeson #model #baby #parenting #throwbackthursday'.

Some of the mum-of-two's 94,000 followers were shocked by the image and made their disapproving thoughts clear by writing: ''Seriously? So inappropriate'.

However, the post has over 4,000 likes and the majority of people in the comments section were overwhelmingly in favour of it and appreciated it as a bit of lighthearted fun.

However, many more people defended the post and reiterated that the picture is little more than a bit of 'harmless' fun.

One person said: 'I only read the comments as I knew you’d be slated. It’s such a cute photo and I totally get the humour meant xx'.

Another stressed: 'It’s annoying me that no one has realised it’s all about the stairs and how wonderful they are 🙄 ffs people 😂😂😂'.

While a third user added: 'Such a funny comparison! It’s Irritating me that some people on here are saying this is an inappropriate photo! It’s funny & harmless. Some people need to get a life @chanellejhayes don’t they and stop writing such rubbish! 😂'.

What do you think of the picture? Is it inappropriate or can you appreciate that Chanelle was just having a little bit of fun given that Frankie's pose is very similar to one of her previous shoots? Head over to our Facebook page to share you thoughts! We'd love to hear your take on the debate...
