I’m A Celeb’s Becky Vardy opens up about having a fifth child

She's a proud mum of four

Becky Vardy has said she’d happily have a fifth child but her footballer husband Jamie isn’t as keen.

The former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star, 35, opened up about family in a recent interview with Bryony Gordon’s Mad World podcast for The Telegraph.

Becky and Jamie are parents to daughter Sofia, three, and son Finley, one, while Becky is also mum to Megan, 12, and Taylor, eight, from previous relationships, and Jamie is dad to daughter Ella, five.

When asked if she and Jamie want another child, Becky said: “Do you know what? We were discussing this the other day. I said, ‘I can’t believe Finley is one now’ and Jamie said, ‘Well, they do have to grow up!’

“I said, ‘I’m well aware of that!’ I said, ‘What are we going to do? There are no babies!’

“I absolutely love babies. Children are my world. I love big families. My dad was one of five so I’m used to being in a Portuguese family where it’s full on and dinners are quite crazy, loud speaking, very Mediterranean.

“Jamie said to me, ‘I don’t think that’s such a good idea’ and the practicality of it probably wouldn’t be, but we can all envisage and dream, can’t we? There’s nothing wrong with that.

“But you can’t keep having kids just for the sake of having newborn babies, can you?”

The star has spoken previously about wanting another child but Leicester City footballer Jamie not being as enthusiastic.

She told Closer magazine in January that she’d felt broody after meeting Ferne McCann’s daughter Sunday.

“I mentioned [having another child] to Jamie and he was like, ‘No, absolutely not. No more!'” said Becky. “We have a nanny to help us out during the week, but at the weekend it’s just us.”

Becky opened up during Bryony Gordon’s podcast about her mental health, experience in the I’m A Celeb jungle last year, and the judgement she has faced in life.
