Like many in the public eye, Emma and Matt Willis rarely share pictures of their children. So it was a surprise when Emma took to Instagram to show off her ‘little style icon’ – son Ace, nine, sporting long blond hair, a pink cropped T-shirt and pink trainers.

Matt, 37, also shared a picture of Ace rocking a pink sweatshirt and unicorn backpack during a family shopping trip.

Emma, 44, was quickly sent messages of praise for not conforming to gender stereotypes, with one follower writing, ‘Your son is an inspiration. Coming from a mummy of a son who loves pink, rainbows and his Elsa dress, he is following his own story and not bound by stupid society stereotypes.’ Proud mum Emma replied with a love heart.
