Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey has lashed out at trolls who mocked her daughter's unusual name on social media.
The Goldie McQueen actor welcomed her second child just in time for Christmas, taking to Instagram to share the good news.
Alongside an adorable picture of the newborn in her crib, Chelsee also revealed her unique namesake, writing: "Cookie Al Rainford. 22.12.2023, 6lb."
Trolls were quick to bash the unusual moniker, with Chelsee addressing the backlash and the "difficult week" she has had since the youngster's arrival.

"It's been a difficult week but so happy she is here and healthy. Also the nasty messages and comments on our daughter's name, it's Christmas and people still can't be kind.
"Taking time to get myself better in every aspect and enjoy my beautiful baby and be the best mummy I can be for Coco and Cookie.Hope you have all had the most gorgeous Christmas."
Chelsee shares her 5-year-old daughter, Coco, with her ex-boyfriend Jack Molloy. She is yet to reveal the identity of Cookie's father.
Announcing her pregnancy earlier this year, the Waterloo Road star said she was excited to give Coco the younger sibling she had been asking for.
