Among the vile posts was the suggestion that little Leo “should die”.

Jake hit back at the shocking intervention – and suggested the perpertrator’s actions should be considered criminal.

What Jake tweeted back at the troll

Jake wrote: “You know what I can take some test giving me [blank], but there’s a line you don’t cross and wishing death on a baby is just crazy behaviour.

“Whoever is behind it needs locking up, how in 2021 can we not find out who are behind these fake accounts!”

Jake added he’d “love” to do a TV show working with police to track down and confront anonymous trolls by knocking on their door.

He also mocked the person behind the unpleasant account on Instagram for being semi-literate.
