LEIGH-ANNE Pinnock has come under fire for telling fans they can pay to ‘follow her pregnancy’ by signing up to a paywall site.
It comes despite the former Little Mix singer, who is currently expecting her third child with her footballer husband Andre Gray, having an estimated net worth of around £5.9 million.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Leigh-Anne explained to fans that she had set up a Patreon page where she will be sharing ‘pregnancy, bump updates, everyday life and all of the things in between’.
Fans can pay £5 per month to access the content.
Leigh-Anne, who already shares twins with Andre, wrote in her Patreon bio: “Hey It’s Leigh-Anne here!
“As some of you may know by now I’m pregnant with my third child and wanted to create a space for you all to get a deeper insight into my world, my pregnancy journey and general life as a mother, singer, wife and woman who’s trying her best.
“Excited to see where this journey takes us and can’t wait to show you all the things I get up to along the way.”
Patreon is a platform used by influencers and creators to share exclusive content.
Following the page’s release, some fans were confused as to why the multi-millionaire singer is charging for her content.
One fan branded the move ‘out of touch’ as they said: “Genuinely this is extremly weird for someone as big of a name to start a patreon to… show a pregnancy? Tbh it feels a bit out of touch for my taste.”
Another asked: “Are you broke?”
A third slammed: “Wow.. she really needs that money eh?”
However, some were on board with the idea and have already signed up.
“Just signed up to follow your journey, can’t wait to see what it all brings!,” wrote a fan.
Another defended: “The Patreon is strictly for the fans that want to follow her pregnancy journey a little more closer. She doesn’t have to show anything at all but she’s choosing to on her terms. That’s the difference from posting publicly.”
On her Patreon page, Leigh-Anne urged fans to keep the content she shares exclusively for there and not share it elsewhere online.
There is a free option on Patreon which allows you to watch some videos, but not the subscription-only posts.
Alongside her ultra-successful run with Little Mix, Leigh-Anne has had a booming solo career since 2023.
Her husband, Andre, has played for football clubs such as Brentford, Burnley, Watford and Port Vale.
