“I didn’t know if it would happen again so I’m so grateful that I get to be a mammy for two.
“When I first had my little boy Jude, I decided to take two years off. Then I’ve come back into it head first and I’m pregnant again.
“But I don’t know if I’d want to take another two-year break — I love this job.

By
UNDERFIRE ITV face serious questions over their edit of pre-recorded I’m A Celebrity South Africa.
Sinitta, David Haye and Jimmy Bullard have already claimed the channel cut Adam Thomas using the c-word in a Bushtucker Trial row.
Now Craig Charles has added fuel to the fire, saying ITV “watered down” the “aggressive” attack.
Appearing on ITV’s own daytime show This Morning yesterday, an emotional Craig said: “It was deeply traumatic. Adam was so aggressive, like a coiled spring.
“It looked like he was going to attack Jimmy.
“I’m not blaming ITV. They had to water it down. But they didn’t water down mine and Harry’s responses.”
Jimmy is said to be considering legal action. An ITV spokesman said: “We showed an accurate and fair representation of events.”
