Hollyoaks actress Nicole Barber-Lane, who plays Myra McQueen on the soap, has been slammed on social media after yesterday’s April Fools prank.
Nicole took to her Instagram stories yesterday to “announce” she was expecting triplets - but quickly deleted the video and retracted her comments, admitting it was an April Fool.
Now some fans are calling her “insensitive” for joking about pregnancy when many women struggle to conceive.
"With being a celebrity I'd have thought maybe you'd have more common sense than this...” fumed one fan. “ITS NOT A JOKE... maybe put brain into gear before opening your mouth next time."
