Typically keeping her family life fairly private, she has spoken about the trials and tribulations of motherhood on just a few occasions.

Earlier this year she spoke to Closer magazine about the fear of mum-shaming and the “mummy brigade”.

She told the mag: “I don’t think women can win. Working mums and stay-at-home mums get a tough time.

“You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. You just have to do what’s right for you and not listen to what the mummy brigade say.”
