A single mum from Essex has described how she treats her daughters as her little Barbie babies, by treating them to spray tans and crystal studded shoes.
Student Sophie May Dixon has shunned criticism by dressing four-year-old Princess Bliss Tiana May and Precious Bell Ruby Rosina, aged one, in glamorous clothes, including bright pink dresses and make up.
Princess is allowed to wear a blonde hair piece to other children's parties - and has been for the last two years.
The youngsters also share a designer wardrobe worth thousands of pounds, including a pair of Ralph Lauren sparkly flat shoes costing £90 and a D&G child's dress costing up to £400.
The girls will be seen strutting their stuff in on national television on Monday (July 28).
Miss May Dixon said: "My girls, I would say, are like little Barbie babies. If Barbie was real, they would be her children."
However, she revealed she has been forced to put up with backlash: "There has been so much nastiness," she added.
"People would, like, comment – nasty, malicious comments – and then, obviously, onto the social networking, it all went onto that.
"People have said, like, they want to put her [Precious] into a blender... How can someone say that about a harmless little baby?"
Sophie's friends have seen the eggs that people have thrown at her windows and noticed the toll that all this has taken on her.Blinging up Baby is on Channel 5 on Monday, July 28 at 9pm
