Cam Merchant has hit back at a troll after being accused of promoting sponsored baby products in a recent Instagram video.

The former Married At First Sight star recently launched his IGTV series #DadCam, in which he tries out new baby products ahead of the birth of his first child with wife Jules Cameron.

‘I’m going to trial and test all that is going on in the baby world, from tasting all the delicious foods to the cutest of clothes to entertainment to transport and prams,’ he said in the video.

While the video received mostly positive comments from Cam’s fan, one follower left a nasty comment about the video featuring too many sponsored products.

‘Plus how many paid sponsorships you can push into a 2 min video,’ they wrote, followed by a shrugging emoji.

The comment received several responses, including one from somebody who claimed that they had gifted Cam two of the items featured in the video.

Cam then responded directly to one of the fans who defended him, writing: ‘Thank you hun appreciate it.

‘Absolutely bizarre. Certainly excited as I look to learn & become the best Dad I can be. I know I’ll be leaning on so many for tips and guidance and kindness so thank you for this.’

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Cam for comment. 

While Cam has his #DadCam IGTV series, his wife Jules has opened up her own ‘mummy blog’ Instagram page called Baby Cub and Lady Lumps.

In a recent post, she admitted that she often feels nervous between scans and doctors appointments.

‘Getting the phone call and hearing that your baby is healthy is the most comforting feeling ever. That little fear feeling that you feel between test, checks, scans, #heartbeat,’ she wrote on her new venture.

‘It makes me think that maybe that’s just the start of parenthood. That level of love equals the deepest of care which leads to worry. All you can ask for is a healthy baby that grows into a wonderful little person.’

The couple married for real in November 2019. Their Sydney ceremony was televised as part of a lucrative special episode of Channel Nine’s A Current Affair.
