Greg Rutherford’s girlfriend hits out after Strictly viewers criticise son’s ‘girly’ outfit

Greg Rutherford’s girlfriend has hit back at Strictly viewers who criticised their son’s outfit after Saturday’s show.

Susie Verrill, who appeared during a VT with the couple’s two-year-old son Milo, has responded to comments about his supposedly ‘girly’ clothes.

Journalist Verrill said that she ‘braced’ for comments about her son’s longer hair and top knot but not for the mean-spirited remarks about his clothes.

“I know a top knot for a little boy is still a bit iffy and of course, well aware it makes my cherub-faced son resemble a girl. I’m not a total moron and I do have the ability to see,” she wrote.

“The thing that did surprise me though, was the backlash I received for his outfit and the fact I apparently, dress my son ‘in girl clothes’.

“I don’t think boys should stick to blue, black, trucks, robots, footballs and monsters.

“Of course, we love all that stuff, but so will any future daughter of ours (if we happen to have one). Milo does wear blue, he just didn’t happen to today.”

Verrill went on to say that she’s happy with the way she dresses her son and won’t be making changes any time soon.

“I can gladly confirm I dress my son in "girl clothes.”

“I’m safe in the knowledge Milo’s trendy (I can use that word now I’m a mum) and even if he wasn’t, he’s happy. And that’s all that matters.”
