Kate Ferdinand has admitted feeling uncertain about having another baby with husband Rio, saying the thought makes her “anxious”.

The former TOWIE star, 29, had a traumatic time giving birth to her son Cree – her first child with football legend Rio, 42.

Following an emergency C-section, she was left badly bruised and unable to hold her baby or change his nappies.

And Kate, who is stepmum to Rio’s three kids from his first marriage, said the experience has left her feeling ten years older.

“The happiness has been overwhelming but so have the tears and emotions.

“I’ve felt like I can’t do what I’m meant to be doing with Cree as I haven’t been able to change or feed him consistently, which has had me feeling all types of guilt, for Cree, Rio & that I can’t be doing what I normally do for the kids.

“It’s a whirlwind I just wasn’t expecting… but at the same time the most perfect whirlwind.”
