"For a lot of my life I did feel pressurised and I wasn\'t ready. You have to do what\'s right for you. I think I am going to be a much happier person knowing that I did this when I wanted to."

Kate and Martin decided to try for a baby after their wedding was postponed, despite the reality TV star initially laughing when pals suggested they could have a baby between now and their rebooked nuptials.

She said: "This was completely planned. The wedding got cancelled and I wasn\'t thinking about a baby at all. But when we rebooked it for the following year, a few of our friends and family said we could have a baby between now and then. I laughed.

"But then I turned 40 in May and suddenly I felt grown up and like I was ready for something and I didn\'t know what it was.

"We realised we would have to start trying straight away to avoid having a newborn at the wedding. So we did. We gave it one shot. And it happened!"

The star is due to give birth in February next year.
