Socialite Tamara Ecclestone slammed by fans for buying exotic pet for her daughter

SOCIALITE Tamara Ecclestone got her daughter a sloth as a birthday gift — and people have been far from slow to criticise.

The mega-rich heiress, 39, shared a snap of 10-year-old Sophia with one of the world’s laziest creatures.

Sloths enjoy a solitary life in South American rainforests and can get agitated in captivity, clawing humans who touch.

One of Tamara’s Instagram followers, Sarah Shaw, warned her: “Unlike household animals, they don’t like to be touched.

“They don’t like humans either. These creatures are NOT for your enjoyment.”

Another accused the mum of two of spoiling her eldest daughter, posting: “‘Mummy, get me a sloth’. ‘Sure princess, anything you say.’”

The mammal was seen hanging on a branch at what appeared to be Tamara’s London home, with Sophia and sis Serena, three.

Tamara, daughter of billionaire former F1 mogul Bernie, was approached for comment.
