Yours does the job but it doesn’t compare.”Another jumped in adding: “You get what you paid for and I think you just seriously dissed all of us balloon artists. Our costs include luxury branded balloons, skill and labour.”read more in showbizA third cruelly remarked: “I guess if you’re happy then well done BUT to me it looks bloody awful so so many mistakes but hey ho whatever floats your boat!”A fourth sarcastically wrote: “Thanks Kate, considering you obviously know nothing about a professional balloon artist and how much goes into our work. Not just that we put our heart and soul into our business, but it’s also our time. How do you expect us to work for free? Maybe people want to think carefully before criticising how much it actually costs.”After receiving a deluge of mean comments Kate created a video to respond to the haters, sharing that she “can’t cope” with the situation.Looking defeated with her head in her hands, the mum said: “Guys, I’m getting absolutely torn apart on Instagram and I can’t cope.

You’ve just shown the internet what kind of person you really are, Kate!’ I just made my own balloon arch! “Honestly, I can’t cope! There are also people out there right, who can’t afford to pay £250 for a balloon arch if they are just having a small gathering at home for 20 people, like I was for Sue’s birthday. “The average age was 70. They don’t give a s*** about big balloon arches.”She went on to shake the criticism off by dancing with balloons she used to make the arch while singing along to Don’t Let The B*stards Get You Down by Kris Kristofferson.This Morning star slams Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard as a ‘safe choice’ and claims she wasn’t asked to present show More
