Izzy Judd admits she feels ‘drained and impatient’ as she tries to entertain daughter Lola, 4

Izzy Judd candidly shared the parenting lows and highs in lockdown on Instagram on Wednesday, as she admitted she felt ‘a bit shouty, drained and impatient’.

The violinist, 36, who has two children with McFly’s drummer Harry, talked about the ‘relentlessness’ of motherhood as she tried to think of new ways to keep her daughter Lola, 4, and son Kit, 2, entertained.

Izzy uploaded a sweet photo of Lola making a lantern while wearing a flower crown, as she talked about the challenges she has faced as a parent during lockdown.

She wrote: ‘How to describe today? Lets just say by 10.30am we had turned into fairies.

‘Anything to escape the relentlessness of all this. Week 5 has not been my finest. A bit shouty, drained and impatient. 

‘Tomorrow Lola’s plan is for us to be ballerina’s for the day. I’m going with it because we both need a break! Has anyone else felt a shift in their little ones mood this week? Sending huge virtual strength to you all.’ 

Late last month Izzy revealed she had to take her son Kit to hospital after he reacted badly to his pre-school vaccine boosters.  

Explaining what happened in the caption, Izzy admitted that being in hospital ‘sent [her] anxiety flying’ but she was grateful for the doctor who helped Kit, three, and heaped praise on the NHS.  

She wrote: ‘Went to A&E tonight as Kit has had a reaction to his pre school boosters. Poor Kit has always been sensitive to his vaccines BUT thank goodness for vaccines!! 

‘Being in a hospital sent my anxiety flying, just can’t bear to think of the scenes behind the wall of the children’s department (which was empty). 

‘Usually at this time of year we’re facing the back to back colds and bugs with the kids, it felt really weird giving Kit medicine today after so long.’

Izzy went on: ‘Thank you as ever to @NHS and the kind doctor who took care of us tonight. We are so lucky, oh the worry when the little ones are poorly….’ 

Izzy has been sharing regular updates on her time in lockdown with her two children, Lola and Kit, and has also spoken candidly about her fertility journey. 

The violinist recently reflected on her miscarriage and her experiences with IVF in a new Channel 5 documentary detailing the tragedy of baby loss. 

During the show, Izzy spoke of how miscarriages can be ‘left unspoken’, after losing her own baby after her first cycle of IVF in 2014.

The musician welcomed daughter Lola with McFly drummer Harry in 2016 after two rounds of In vitro fertilisation and went on to conceive son Kit naturally the following year. 

She suffers with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, a condition that affects a woman’s oestrogen and progesterone levels causing cysts on the ovaries. She discovered that she had trouble conceiving shortly after marrying Harry back in 2012.
