Montana Brown boasted that her son Jude, who is two and a half, had only just had his ‘first proper screen time’ – before fans claimed she had actually tripped up by admitting he’d previously actually watched YouTube. 

The former Love Island star, 30, shares son Jude with her fiancé Mark O’Connor and they also have a baby girl called Miley, 12 months.

In a recent TikTok entitled: ‘First proper screen time on the flight at 2.5 years old’ she spoke about a long-haul family flight. 

She said: ‘Guys I am marking this moment. We had an eight and a half hour flight to go away for Christmas and Jude actually watched his first film.

‘Well… he watched it for about 10 minutes, didn’t put on his headphones and then asked me ‘can I have the next song’, so I think he just thought it was like a song with a video…

‘As sometimes he loves music from The Sound of Music or sometimes I will get a YouTube clip and he will watch the song when they are doing the yodeling.

‘So he didn’t really get the concept of it but it’s the first time we actually let them do that and it was a fun little experiment, he wasn’t too fussed by it which is good – so just thought I’d be open and honest about that right now.’ 

Her fans were quick to point out that she had mentioned him watching YouTube in her video as they penned: ‘Oh, so he does have screen time then.’,

Another said: ‘So…he watches YouTube?’, to which she attempted to clarify things by replying: ‘Only once when I was preggo with norovirus for 2 weeks.’

Other added: ‘Slipped up that he watches you tube.’,

‘Soooo when it suits.’

It comes after last year opinionated Montana was blasted for claiming teachers ‘make pupils watch films all day and feed kids doughnuts,’ in a TikTok video. 

After looking at schools for Jude, Montana listed a number of ‘issues’ she was seeing during visits. 

She began: ‘When I send Jude to school I don’t want him looking at a screen at all. A lot of these schools are talking about them doing their homework on a Chromebook. 

‘I think that time could be better spent. I’d rather him be outdoors, I’d rather him be playing sports.

‘If I want to watch a film with him on a weekend I want to know that he’s not been watching films and using screens during school time because then that makes me feel better.’

Montana continued: ‘Another thing is nutrition. I am really hating that I am seeing kids have so much sugar as part of their diet at school. 

‘Why are we giving them biscuits at break times? Why are we giving them yum yums? Why are we giving them donuts?’

After asking her followers for their thoughts, they called her out for being contradictory after stating that most of her ‘income comes from screens.’

Followers wrote: ‘This is absolutely insane it’s like dystopia. You’re an influencer ranting about screens on a screen’; 

‘What schools are you viewing?’; ‘She wants Jude to learn on a chalkboard’; ‘I think you are looking for Hogwarts’; ‘Imagine hating screens that much when the majority of your income comes from screens.’

Montana recently opened up about the challenges of having a home birth when her baby daughter Miley was breech. 

She said she was advised by her NHS midwives to give birth in hospital but she insisted she wanted to follow her head and heart and stay at home.

The reality star enlisted the help of a private doula for her home birth, who assured her both she and her daughter were safe.

Montana took to Instagram to share that her home birth was ‘magical’ but she had felt nervous when her waters broke due to Miley being breech, with one of the baby’s legs popping out first. 

However she thanked her ‘rock’ Mark, doula Emiliana and midwife Heather for relaxing her before Miley ‘flew out’ two pushes later.
