Vanessa explained: “It’s impossible to be heartbroken when you’re holding a beautiful baby.
“Those pheromones just transfer straight into you, especially if you’re feeling desolate, lonely, heartbroken, sad, betrayed, all that horrible stuff, which I definitely have felt and still feel actually.
“Plus, you have to put a “good” face on because you don’t want to be sad or crying around children.
“This year I’ve found both my grandchildren and children to be my tower of strength and also the best distraction from it all.”

However the TalkTV presenter also credits her friends, colleagues and members of the public for their support.
“This period of my life has also shown me how lucky I am because it turns out I’ve got a lot more friends than I ever realised,” Vanessa admitted.
“People have been fantastically supportive and kind; from those I’ve known for years to even members of the public, everyone has just been incredible.
“I do get thousands of messages every day from people showing kindness. It’s been absolutely astounding. I’m very, very lucky.”
