The 43-year-old has a daughter, Patricia, 4, and a son, Freddie, who turns two in March, with husband Frank Lampard.

Speaking on the ITV show, the Northern Irish TV presenter said: "I used to get asked lots about it and it is that sort of thing, a lot of people mean well, it's just a question that you kind of throw out there but a lot of times people don't really fully understand maybe the reason behind why you haven't..."
