It comes after Jess said it took her ‘two hours’ to get ready for the day and admitted, while some days she finds parenthood ‘fine’, on others she admits it’s not so easy.
She said: ‘It’s been one of those mornings guys. Getting out the door? Well, it’s not normal, is it? Let’s be honest, let’s not sugar coat it. With a child, getting out the door, and a dog, I’ve only got one dog at the minute as well, add another two hours onto your morning.
‘I tell you what, some days it’s fine but today wasn’t one of those days. Luckily I was OK in myself, in a fine mood and the sun’s shining because it could have been breakdown central had I not but it’s all good.

‘I just thought I’d come on here and say how this whole picture perfect of like, “Oh, you know. Get up, go out with my baby in the pram, it’s all great.” It’s reality, let’s be honest, come on.’
