Reality stars Charlotte Crosby and Lateysha Grace have been left horrified by having their baby monitors hacked. The TV stars have claimed they discovered people have been watching them breast feeding their babies.
Lateysha, 32, is best known for appearing on the MTV series The Valleys and featuring on Big Brother in 2016. She is a mum-of-three with daughters: Wynter, born in 2015, Layke, born in 2022, and Navy Storm Grace, born in January 2025.
The proud mum claims she heard a mystery voice coming from her baby monitor – leaving her concerned someone was monitoring her. She has taken to social media to share her experience online.

She claimed: “Guys a woman just said ‘Hello’ through the baby monitor, there’s new we got them just yesterday me Wynter and my fiance all heard it. I’m shook to the core! Has this ever happened to anyone before? Like what do I even do.”
In a later post, she showed her followers the make of the monitor she had. She reported: “These are the cameras my fiance bought. I feel sick to my stomach to think someone could have been watching my kids on these cameras.
“We’re going to send them back first thing. If anyone can recommend other cameras would be appreciated.”
Geordie Shore star Charlotte, who shares daughters Alba Jean, born in 2022, and Pixi Cecilia, born in January this year, with fiancé Jake Ankers has suggested she had a similar experience.
Reacting to Lateysha’s post, she wrote online: “Guys if you saw @lateysha_grace story this is a real thing and it’s scary.”
Suggesting that baby monitors can be hacked, she continued: “People have been hacking into baby monitors!!!”
She added: “They are able to watch the whole feed and have been watching mothers breastfeeding it’s absolutely awful!!!!!!!”
Sharing further notes, she wrote: “Basically when I was reading the reviews, all of them were saying that the hackers get in via the Wi-Fi connection so all monitors with built in Wi-Fi can be hacked which is basically all of them.” She then shared a product that she claimed could not be hacked.
Parenting website Mama Academy has shared advice to concerned parents who might be worried about monitor hacking. They report: “The thought of someone hacking into your baby monitor is unsettling, yet it’s a real possibility. Baby monitors, especially those connected to the internet, can be vulnerable to cyberattacks. These devices often lack robust security measures, making them easy targets for hackers.”
They offer a range of suggestions to help parents protect themselves and their families. They suggest: “Always change the default username and password of your baby monitor to something more secure.”
They also write: “Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is secured with a strong password and consider using a guest network for your baby monitor.”
Regularly updating firmware, enabling encryption, and checking your network for any unusual activity are also suggested to protect against hackers.
