In July, she shared an Instagram photo of her five young children – Sam, 11, daughters Eva, nine, and Lola, six, son Monty, two, and daughter Perla, 19 months – and a heartfelt message in the caption.
‘Missing my gorgeous babies. It’s been 5 weeks so far of not seeing them while I’m in hospital due to pregnancy complications.’
