The blogger's book 'Cordially Invited' has come under fire.

Zoe Sugg, also known as Zoella, is being blasted by fans for telling them how to make a sandwich and go for a walk.

The social media star has included the bizarre tips in her new book Cordially Invited, which is described as "a seasonal guide to celebrations and hosting".

The 28 year old writes: "When ready to assemble your sandwiches, lay your bread out on your work surface and butter each slice."

And when it comes to taking a stroll, she reminds readers to take a coat in winter, an umbrella in spring, and sunglasses in summer.

Unimpressed fans have been taking to Amazon to leave one-star reviews, warning others not to waste their money.

"The information inside the book is so basic, I don’t need to be told how to go on a walk? No idea what she was thinking."

"This entire book is the embodiment of when you need to reach the word count on your essay."

"Complete and utter tripe."

"I think it's insulting to have things like "change your bed" or "clean your house" as actual ideas and organisation tips. Absolutely no originality or effort has gone into this book."

"Hugely disappointed in this book. Just seems like a lazy and unnecessary cash grab. The hints and tips are beyond idiotic - saying to wear a coat when you go for a walk, reminding you to eat chocolate at Easter, making sure guests have fresh sheets."

However, a rep for the publisher told the Mirror that the book is "intended to appeal to people of varied levels of experience":

"While there are some straightforward and simple tips, there are also more complex recipes and projects such as baking a four-tier birthday cake and making autumn wreaths."

"Zoe has put a lot of work into the book and is incredibly proud of it, and we're delighted that so many of her fans are enjoying it."
