The \'Diva Forever\' star announced earlier this year that she would be holding off getting pregnant until she was 40 as she wanted to give motherhood "110 percent."

She explained: "I\'m not having a baby until I\'m 40. I\'m not broody. I have got so much on work-wise.

"If I was to have a baby, I would want to give it 110 per cent. I wouldn\'t want anyone else looking after my baby, I wouldn\'t leave it with anyone. My baby would come with me to work, to photo shoots, everywhere. I will be the ultimate full-on, hands-on mum."
