MUMS online have been left gobsmacked by a toddler’s skirt from H&M, which they’ve dubbed “revealing” and “so inappropriate.”

The retail giant is selling what unhappy parents are calling a “mini-skirt” for children from the age of 18 months.

Unimpressed mums slammed the store for both the leather-look of the skirt and the lack of practicality – pointing out how a child might struggle to run and play while wearing it.

Some have even likened the skirt to the wardrobe of racy rock-chic Nessa from Gavin and Stacey – whose wardrobe, which frequently features leather-look clothing, is entirely inappropriate for a child.

H&M

Labelled on the H&M website as a Coated Skirt, the item is described as “short” in length with an outer shell made from 100% polyester.

Online, the skirt has a 4.7 star review, with happy customers calling it the “perfect fit.”

But TikTok user @hannah_time_ spotted the skirt in-store, and posted a clip to the video-sharing platform, which she captioned: “H&M I love your toddler clothes… but a leather mini skirt on a baby is weird…”

In the video, she picks the skirt up and rotates it – showing off the length and style of the material.

Hannah, a mum to a teen and toddler, said the skirt confused her “on so many levels” and was concerned a child might feel uncomfortable and restricted in it.

One curious viewer asked: “Genuine question, what’s the issue compared to any other material? It’s not like it’s PVC leather or something.”

Hannah replied: “I’d feel similarly about a baby boy in a tux – I just, personally, don’t like dressing children like adults. Toddlers should be wearing comfortable clothes, this is not it.”

Other viewers were also shocked by the skirt, concerned that the item was age-inappropriate.

“It’s just getting worse, can’t even buy girls normal tops these days. Everything is crop tops. Drives me insane.”

“Nooooooo, hate it when people dress kids like adults.”

“Think it’s making children grow up way before their time! These are adults clothes.”

“I wouldn’t even buy that for myself, let alone my 3 year old.”

“You can’t climb trees or run around in that skirt tho. It’s not made for kids.”

But not everybody agreed.

“Unless you’re gonna style it with fishnets and a rhinestone bralette I don’t see the problem.”

“You’re the weirdo making it a thing. It’s a cute skirt, nothing more.”

PRINCE Andrew was seen as a “valuable communication channel” by China, new documents claim.

The papers also suggest MI5 questioned the Duke of York’s most senior aide about his “clandestine” relationship to an alleged Chinese spy.

The royal, 64, first met Yang Tengbo, 50, in 2013 and he became a close confidant, helping to launch his Pitch@Palace business initiative in China.

The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) released hundreds of pages of disclosures on Friday after Yang failed to overturn a ruling banning him from the UK as a national security risk.

Among the documents retrieved from Yang’s phone and laptop was a crib sheet for a planned call between the accused spy and “TD” – the duke, reports The Sunday Times.

It added that China’s ambassador to London Zheng Zeguang, regarded Andrew as a “valuable communication channel”.

Meanwhile, further documents retrieved from Yang’s devices show the duke hoped to leverage the Firm’s reputation to raise $3billion (£2.4bn) of international financing for a pot to “break unproductive technological and talent blockades against China”.

EPSTEIN SCANDAL

Andrew is also facing further questions about his relationship with late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Emails from a separate legal case appear to show the royal was in contact with Epstein for weeks longer than he has previously admitted during his disastrous Newsnight interview.

Andrew was forced to step back from royal duties following the chat in November 2019 in which he refused to condemn his relationship with billionaire.

He also claimed he had severed ties with Epstein in December 2010 but emails came to light this week showing they were still talking two months later.

He said he didn’t see or speak to Epstein after they were pictured strolling through Central Park in New York City shortly after the paedo was released from jail for child sex offences.

But emails disclosed in a filing by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) reveal he spoke to Epstein in February 2011.

In an email, he told Epstein: “Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”

The emails have been exposed as the FCA defends an appeal by former Barclays Bank boss James Edward “Jes” Staley.

Andrew paid millions to Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre in an out-of-court settlement three years ago, while denying sexual assault accusations.

The royal could face an FBI probe after the man set to be the bureau’s new boss vowed to “do everything” to expose those who worked with Epstein.

Donald Trump’s pick for FBI head, Kash Patel, has Andrew in his sights after telling a Senate hearing he is ready to investigate anyone connected to convicted paedophile Epstein, who died in 2019.

The duke was also hit by a string of fresh humiliations yesterday as his portrait was stripped from a historic pub.

Andrew faces last orders at The Duke of York pub in Fitzrovia, central London, where signs with his portrait were pulled down.

And a new book claims deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner referred to him as “that nonce” in an astonishing rant.

Referring to discussions on whether to dump Andrew from the monarchy, she reportedly said: “I’m not going to vote to keep that nonce on… I can’t go back to my constituency and say, yeah, I support that.”

A GRIEVING mum believes her son was murdered in Spain and the country’s cops are trying to cover it up.

Sandra Adams, 56, says her son Brett Dryden died from foul play and is now investigating herself after being left in anguish.

Brett, 35, had lived in the small town of Mojacar, in Andalusia, for five years while running a legal cannabis club called The Dawg House.

But the father-of-one was found dead in his resort home on the Costa Almeria on July 22, the Mirror reports.

His body had a four-inch gash to the head – but a post-mortem in Spain pinned his passing on a blood clot in his lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism.

But Sandra does not buy this and believes cops are trying to cover up the death to protect the tourism industry.

Instead, she believes her 5ft 5 son was “quickly” killed by someone he knew.

Sandra told the Mirror: “I just want justice for my son. I will not rest until I get justice.”

“My husband got a call from his friend saying Brett had been found in his house dead and there was blood all up the walls.

“When Brett’s friends found him and went in the house the police officers initially said to them ‘there’s been a violent murder’ and that he had been hit with an axe.”

A number of bizarre things happened following Brett’s death that clearly point to the involvement of other people, Sandra believes.

Neighbours told Robert they had CCTV footage of three men running away from Brett’s home on the night he died.

The Durham woman said she received a call from Brett’s phone hours after medics say Brett died.

After tracking the handset, the heartbroken mother found it was being turned on and off and moving to different locations in Spain.

Sandra said she told Spanish cops about what she had found and shared her suspicion that Brett’s death was “murder”.

But, Sandra said cops told her and husband Rob to “‘take a step back and let us deal with it now’.”

Spanish cops took CCTV footage from the home just before Christmas – but there is no confirmation cops have an open homicide investigation.

The fighting mum brought Brett’s body home to Britain to conduct a full autopsy, which was inconclusive.

Sandra is now fuming that Spanish cops have not kept her informed of the investigation – despite ringing them every day.

Husband Rob, Brett’s step-dad, has also been to Spain to try and speak to the Guardia.

Spanish police declined to comment on the case to the Mirror.

A court spokesman said: “The investigation hasn’t been suspended or closed. It is still open and this incident remains under investigation. The court is waiting for the Civil Guard to complete their full report and present their conclusions. For the time being there’s nothing more we can say.”

LAURYN Goodman is preparing to tell her kids ‘the truth’ about Kyle Walker – as she blasts him for ‘not being a present dad’.

The TV star has two children with England footballer Kyle, 34, and has spoken out this weekend following his move to AC Milan.

Lauryn became pregnant with son Kairo while Kyle was on a break from childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner in 2019.

Kyle later got back together with Annie before they married in 2021, and the couple share four sons.

But he and Lauryn stayed in touch and briefly rekindled their relationship.

Their daughter Kinara was conceived in October 2022 while the footballer was in London for treatment for a groin injury.

As Kyle’s marriage to Annie hangs by the thinnest of threads after his move to Italy, Lauryn has taken aim at her ex and how he doesn’t have a relationship with their two children.

The 34-year-old told The Mirror: “I don’t want them to feel like they’re missing out because they haven’t got a present dad to be doing these things with them.

“I’ve been through hell and back fighting for my children and then absolutely being crucified for it in the process.”

And in a thinly veiled swipe, she added: “Everything I do is for my kids.

“They are innocent and I am here, day in, day out, caring for them, making sure that they are looked after, making sure they’re loved, making sure that they’re not affected.”

Lauryn currently lives in a £2.4million house in Sussex which is owned by the 34-year-old defender.

But she’s insisted in her recent interview: “I’m not a money grabber.”

Lauryn added: “It’s about all the children having the same, which they will never have, but I can try to get similarities for them. If his other children are living like that, why can’t Kairo and Kinara?”

Meanwhile, Kyle was pictured reuniting with Annie and their children after they jetted into Italy to watch him make his debut for Italian giants AC Milan this weekend.

Annie, 31, jetted in with Roman, 12, Riaan, nine, seven-year-old Reign and baby Rezon – on Friday afternoon after a turbulent week.

​1 | Zero Day (Feb. 20)

Looking for an edge-of-your-seat thriller to break up the winter doldrums? In this limited series, a former president (Robert DeNiro) is tasked with uncovering the perpetrators behind a cyberattack that left over 3,000 people dead.

If plot twists and the iconic lead aren’t enough to get you watching, it also features top-tier performances from Lizzie Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton, and Angela Bassett as the current POTUS. The best part? It’s all under the purview of Narcos showrunner Eric Newman.

​2 | Apple Cider Vinegar (Feb. 6)

The current social media-obsessed era has driven people to extremes in the hunt for likes, views, and clout. This limited series is loosely based on the true story of an Australian woman who rises to notoriety after claiming to have been cured of terminal brain cancer.

However, it’s not until after she’s risen to fame that the revelation she was never actually diagnosed with the disease rocks the health and wellness community that elevated her in the first place.

​3 | Running Point (Feb. 27)

Not all new TV is downtrodden and dire this winter: There are comedies, too! Running Point stars Kate Hudson (who also receives an executive producer credit) as Isla Gordon, an executive who suddenly becomes the head of her family’s prolific NBA franchise after her brother resigns in the wake of a scandal.

But despite coming from a high-powered professional background herself, she’ll still have to prove to her coworkers and brothers that she’s cut out for the fast-paced world of professional sports.

Besides its stellar cast, the series also counts comedic icon Mindy Kaling as a showrunner, alongside fellow executive producer Ike Barinholtz.

“I've been eager to dive into something comedic with a team I admire, and this role offered a fresh challenge and was hilarious and engaging right from the start,” Hudson told Netflix blog Tudum. “The chance to work with people I respect and to bring a unique female perspective to a male-driven world was incredibly appealing.”

​4 | Cobra Kai: Season six, part three (Feb. 13)

Years after reviving The Karate Kid storyline with this spinoff, fans will finally be able to see the final chapter play out. The last episodes of the series will finally see former enemies turned dojo partners Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) handle the fallout from the Sekai Tekai tournament. And even with a culmination that’s four decades in the making, there’s still plenty that will finally get resolved.

“Our Day 1 goal with Cobra Kai has always been to end it on our terms, leaving the Valley in the time and place we’ve always imagined,” co-creators Hayden Schlossberg, Jon Hurwitz, and Josh Heald wrote in a statement announcing the final season, per Tadum. “So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are able to announce that achievement…While this may be a bittersweet day for the fandom, the Miyagiverse has never been stronger.”

Want to catch up before things finally wrap up? You can watch previous episodes now before the last ones become available on Feb. 13.
