“I know every family has different boundaries and obviously it’s their decision, but I personally find it strange considering how public they are.”
They added: “Surely they know the dangers? A few weeks ago I think they even included him in an ad while he was in the bath, which seemed really odd to me. Curious what everyone else thinks.”
People shared their thoughts and one person who wrote: “I absolutely do not agree with posting your child online. People have such weird parasocial relationships with folk online which can become really unhealthy. I also think it is wrong to monetise off your child. Your child cannot consent.”
Another added: “Every adult knows exactly how nefarious it is to post children and babies online, especially 2 people whose whole lives revolve around the internet and social media. It’s disgusting… it is so dangerous.”

“Social media is a massive part of broadening that appeal, and TikTok is the perfect medium for a show where music and dance is at the forefront.
“They won’t simply lose someone from the line up because they aren’t big on TikTok, but it might just be the thing that saves them from exiting the line-up.”
