Tamara Ecclestone criticised over daughter Sophia's birthday party



She is the apple of her billionaire mother's eye who rang in her fourth birthday on Saturday.



And Formula One heiress Tamara Ecclestone pulled out all the stops to treat her young daughter Sophia to a spectacular birthday bash to remember, but faced criticism from her social media followers for the extravagant celebration.



The 33-year-old threw a glittering party, with little Sophia seen starting the day clad in a pair of custom-made  '4 Fifi' pyjamas and sat on a multi-coloured mountain of presents.



As the little girl smiled broadly, a selection of hot pink balloons could be seen in the background, with proud mum Tamara captioning the snap 'The best day celebrating Fifi'.



And beating the kids party staple of jelly and icecream, Sophia could be seen being cradled by her proud mother, in front of a jaw-dropping three tier cake, decorated in blue buttercream and topped with a pink icing bear, rainbows and clouds.



The little girl, who wore a blush pink glittered party dress with tulle skirt for her big day was seen being swung by her mother and father Jay Rutland, 37, in front of a large 4 composed out of multi-coloured balloons.



Continuing the birthday tributes, Tamara added: 'Your confidence never ceases to amaze me just when I thought you couldn’t get any more sassy you told the dj to drop the beat. You light up every room that your in with you energy and your huge personality. So proud of you Fifi beautiful girl.





Another wrote: 'Ridiculous amount of presents! Just my opinion...I’m not jealous or a h*ter! Hood she had a lovely birthday'. (sic)



Another added: 'This is called being spoilt..... and kids in Africa are dying from hunger!' while another wrote 'to many gift's spolit rich child'. 



One fan blasted Tamara for sharing the luxury day on social media, writing: ' I hate social media present piles ☹️ making other parents feel inadequate if they aren’t going to same extreme for their child. I know it has no baring on if you are a good parent or not but I just don’t see the need to share.



A lovely picture of Sophia on the sofa or at the breakfast table would suffice. Anyway if I had the money chances are I may do the same but I just would not plaster it on social media x'



Although many fans stuck up for Tamara, with scores wishing the little girl a happy day and one writing: 'They are a happy family just trying to live their life (money doesn't come into it). If you genuinely can't be happy for them, then we all know your bitterness is actually jealousy. '



Devoted mother Tamara has a history of laying on extravagant birthday celebrations for her beloved daughter with Sophia's first birthday party featuring a balloon castle, a petting zoo and a zebra at a cost of around £70,000. 



Zebras, sheep, puppies and ponies were just some of the animals that were seen arriving at the family home, which had been kitted out with pink balloons crafted into 'S' shapes in honour of the youngster.



Each animal had its very own station complete with a gazebo and pink name sign and a balloon artist was also seen making his way into the family home.
