Loose Women came under fire today for featuring a segment on financial hardship followed directly by billionaire’s daughter Tamara Ecclestone talking about her extreme wealth.
Tamara has a new show starting on ITVBe tonight, Tamara’s World, in which cameras will follow her and her husband, Jay Rutland, along with their three-year-old daughter Sophia, in their day-to-day life.

Prior to Tamara settling down with Christine Lampard, Linda Robson, Janet Street-Porter and Stacey Solomon for a chat, the ladies were having a discussion on young people being unable to afford to get on the property ladder.
With Stacey saying it was hard for young people to save, many viewers agreed it was a struggle.
But then Tamara came on moments later to talk about her 57-room mansion and the 50 staff she employs.
Needless to say, it did not go down well at all with people watching at home who called the show “insensitive” and “disgusting”.

Defending her lifestyle on the show, Tamara told the ladies: “It might seem extreme to some people but it’s my life and I would never judge how other people live.”
There were plenty of people who warmed to the F1 heiress and said on Twitter they thought she came across really well.
Tamara also admitted on the show that when she was a little girl her mum, Slavica, did the household chores, and that although Tamara herself doesn’t clean her own house, she doesn’t have any help with Sophia, and she also makes “the best bacon sandwiches”!
