Liz Hurley hits back after being criticised over her parenting

She may be known for her sexy Instagram account, which is filled with images of her frolicking on sun-soaked beaches.

However, 52-year-old actress Liz Hurley has proved she is fiercely protective when it comes to issues regarding her son.

The mum-of-one has hit back after being criticized for her revealing her 15-year-old son, Damian, takes the majority of her risqué snaps.

“Liz doesn’t really care if people don’t like her but she won’t let anyone say she’s a bad mother,” an insider told Woman’s Day.

“It hasn’t been easy for her as a single mum and she known she’s not the most traditional mum but Damian is her life.”

It comes just weeks after Liz confessed that her son is behind the lens of a lot of her photos on Instagram.

“[Damian] definitely takes some, but I do have other friends that I can torture for some too,” Liz said, according to The Sun.

Indeed, Damian’s shadow appears to be in a picture the stunning model posted to her Instagram just months ago.

Liz was celebrating getting up to 100,000 followers on Instagram and was videoed dancing in the sand.

Damian is rarely seen out-and-about in public but he does have 20,000 followers online.

The 15-year-old looks very like his mother and also bears a striking resemblance to his father, Steve Bing, who is the founder of the Shangri-La group.

Steve and Liz famously had a public feud after the birth of Damian in 2002, with the businessman denying at first that he was the baby’s father.

However, a paternity test proved that he was in fact Damian’s father.
