“It’s a massive struggle obviously when you have a baby and so I decided to chill and take 10 months,” she said.
“Then I felt I needed to be me again and the skills I had worked so hard on I didn’t want to lose.
“I just don’t think that everything should stop just because I’ve had a baby and I’ve been very lucky I’ve had 10 months with her and I’m still at home with her until 4 o’clock so I get to spend time with her and do the show.”
