Ant McPartlin

In the green room, we met both Ant and Dec, who were incredibly kind and lovely.

Thanks.

Dec was telling us how much he was enjoying life as a dad to Isla and asked me and my husband if we had any children.

We said no, but little did Dec know, we had been trying for around a year and a half with no luck.

We'd been for tests and there was no explanation as to why we weren't falling pregnant.

It had been upsetting.

And at that point, I had pretty much given up hope and thought maybe motherhood wasn't for me.

So to keep the mood light, we just said, no, not yet.

And Dec replied, oh, you must.

It's the best thing in the world.

Go home right now and make babies.

How awkward is that?

You don't know what people are going through.

Just keep your mouth shut.

Keep your mouth shut.

He said it so enthusiastically and was so sweet and sincere.

It put a huge smile on my face.

So we took his advice.

And a few weeks later, I got the very much wanted positive pregnancy test.

And now we have a beautiful five-year-old girl called Marnie and a three-year-old son called Austin.
