'At the end of the day, when you're doing things like that, when these particular people are doing things like this, they're not thinking of the other person who's actually dealing with the shame and humiliation. 
'There are people out there who just don't care.' 
Shocking: Taylor Jane Wilkey shared a snap of herself lying next to the passed out sportsman before posing in his personalised bathrobe in images that have since gone viral just weeks before his wedding to former TOWIE star Billi Mucklow
It was recently revealed how Andy's stag getaway turned from calm to chaos - starting with a glowing snap with his bride-to-be and ending passed out on a bed with a blonde bar manager.
The ex-England striker, 33, arrived in Dubai on Sunday, following in the footsteps of his fiancée Billi - who had been there earlier in the week celebrating her hen-do.
But by Wednesday night the former Premier League striker was snapped passed out next to bar manager Taylor following a 'boozy' day of drinking. 
Pictures show the recently released West Brom forward - once Premier League side Liverpool's most expensive transfer - on a bed with Taylor.
Thoughts: Judi, 41, branded people who share such reaction-provoking pictures to social media as 'clout chasers', before slamming Taylor for not considering the 'shame' and humiliation' face by others involved [pictured Andy with fiancée Billi]
Others show the 27-year-old wearing the father-of-four's personalised bathrobe with 'Andy Carroll' embroidered into the gown.
Friends of Andy and his fiancée Billi told The Sun on Thursday the pictures were 'embarrassing' so close to their wedding.
However Taylor - who says the pictures were leaked on Snapchat after she sent them to her friends back in the UK - insists nothing sexual happened with the 6ft4in forward.

'It was all just a bit of entirely innocent fun,' she told the paper.
Rant: Discussing the drama on Friday's Loose Women, Nadia hit out at the picture, asking: 'Why would you post that?

If nothing happened, why did you post that? Did you not think it would hurt the people involved?'
Opinion: To which Judi responded: 'There's people out there who are clout chasers and they just want to get anything on the 'Gram [Instagram] and anything on social media'
The release of the images comes just two weeks before Carroll and former TOWIE star Billi are set to wed after an eight year engagement.
It is believed that Carroll flew out to Dubai with his group on Friday and had been staying at the £500-a-night Fairmont Palm Resorts on the famous Palm Islands in Dubai. 
Andy is reported to have had up to 15 people among his stag group, including Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett and goalkeeper Mark Gillespie. 
According to The Sun, Andy was partying at the Cove Beach club on Wednesday with Taylor when he invited her and a female friend to his hotel suite for an afterparty.
Inconsiderate: 'When these particular people are doing things like this, they're not thinking of the other person who's actually dealing with the shame and humiliation'
Brazen: Other pictures show the 27-year-old wearing the father-of-four's personalised bathrobe with 'Andy Carroll' embroidered into the gown
She told the Sun: 'It was an afterparty.

We all went back to his hotel.
'I didn't sleep with him, it wasn't like that, there was three of us in the room.'
Taylor, from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, but who now works in Dubai as a bar manager at a high-end hotel, described her time with Andy as 'really boozy' and said the striker was 'steaming drunk'.
Trouble: It's been said that Andy's bride-to-be thinks the footballer is an 'idiot' and has thrown him in the doghouse after he was snapped sharing a bed with another woman 
Andy met his fiancée in 2013 and the pair got engaged a year later.

He has two young children with Billi and two from a previous relationship.
It's been said that Andy's bride-to-be thinks the footballer is an 'idiot' and has thrown him in the doghouse after he was snapped sharing a bed with another woman.
But Billi has no plans to call off the celebrity couple's wedding - unless more emerges.
Not impressed: 'Billi thinks he's an idiot, her entire friendship group feel the same.

They cannot believe he got himself into that situation and are convinced it's a set up' 
A friend told MailOnline with her permission: 'Billi thinks he's an idiot, her entire friendship group feel the same.
'They cannot believe he got himself into that situation and are convinced it's a set up.
They added: 'She currently has no plans to call off the wedding, it's still on.
'But if anything else comes out, that might change.
'Andy's certainly in the doghouse, that's for sure.'
Romance: Andy  met his fiancee in 2013 and the pair got engaged a year later.

The pair are due marry after an eight year engagement next month
