The reality star said he finds it hard not to let the cruel comments influence his mental health as he appeared on Loose Women with his son on his knee.
He said that the comments affect him more because they are about his son as he admitted that he often finds himself arguing back with the trolls.
He explained: 'When you do have platform unfortunately you're always going to get it, you're going to get people question your decisions, you're going to get people questioning the way you father.

Fans and famous friends rushed to the comments section to send their congratulations
'It's quite upsetting, I'm starting to get my head around it a little bit more because I always feel like if you meet me and you know me then you wouldn't say it. So why do I let these people affect me when they don't know me?
'I argue and I let it affect my mental health and it gets me down. Trolls always pick on the things they know will hurt you, it affects you more when it's your child.'
The dedicated father also said that Leo has 'changed my life' as he gushingly described him as 'the most amazing little boy'.
