It comes after Kate revealed in September that she had suffered a devastating miscarriage back in July.
The mum explained how she learnt she was pregnant again the day before her birthday and the whole family had been “so excited” to have a sibling close in age to Cree.

Speaking on her podcast Blended, the loving mum opened up about the moment she realised her pregnancy wasn’t progressing at it’s usual rate.
After attending an emergency hospital appointment, the star confessed she “burst into tears” after she saw the sonographer’s face when she was told there was no heartbeat.
She told listeners: “We went to lunch before the 12-week scan and there was blood there and I felt like God was giving me a sign. We were literally leaving to go to the scan.

“We both tried to pretend it wasn’t happening and it was fine. It was the longest walk ever to the hospital I felt like I knew and someone was preparing me. I just had to look at the lady’s face. It was awful, I just burst into tears.
“I wasn’t prepared for what happens afterwards. We had planned how to tell everyone. We had filmed the kids and were going to go home and put it on social media.
“I just wanted to get out of the room but also thought of leaving the room terrified me because I have to go and tell the children and go home and act normal.
