However, Danielle has suffered a bit of controversy recently – after giving her son Harvey an at-home food allergy and intolerance test.
After finding out her son could be suffering with intolerance to gluten, Danielle revealed she’d switched his diet to gluten free.
Taking to Instagram, Danielle revealed the dietary decision as she posed with the at-home kit.
‘I’m starting the new year feeling great after finding out what was causing me bloating and pain after eating food, with @Lifelabtests at-home intolerance and allergy testing kit,’ she penned.
Continuing, the former WAG added: ‘The results were so good that my son Harry did a test, too, and since changing his diet to gluten free, he hasn’t been in any pain.’

I’m starting the new year feeling great after finding out what was causing me bloating and pain after eating food, with @Lifelabtests at-home intolerance and allergy testing kit. The results were so good that my son Harry did a test, too, and since changing his diet to gluten free, he hasn’t been in any pain. My results showed I had to cut out eggs, yoghurt and white beans, which I eat regularly as part of a healthy diet, so it’s been a total change but it’s for the better and means I’m not bloating after meals anymore! The test was so easy to do and really thorough as it checks over 160 intolerances, so I knew it’d be a good way of finding out what was causing the pain. There’s currently 30% off sitewide (code NEWYOU19), so would definitely recommend snapping one up if you’re struggling, too! #lifelabtesting #newyearnewme #foodallergies #foodintolerances #allergytest #allergyuk #glutenfree #allergies #intolerances #instahealth #healthyliving
However, some followers have responded to Danielle’s message with concern for her parenting decision.
In fact, some users have highlighted that cutting out food groups in young children can cause problems with their health and growth.
‘You should not be advocating doing this on children,’ one user commented.
Agreeing, another added: ‘A child should not be put on a gf diet unless prescribed by a specialist.’
Others have been quick to defend the star, with one user responding: ‘Can’t believe the amount of over opinionated posts on here. Nobody’s making you have a test….so if you don’t like the post then scroll on by.’
Danielle has since responded to the heated debate – assuring concerned fans that her son is perfectly healthy.
‘Well I’ve cut out the things for harry and he is so much better and not in pain so it’s got to mean something as long as my hurt is pain free am happy,’ she shared.
