She wrote: “After an incredible 13 series I have made the very difficult decision that this series of @fernemyfamandme will be my last. Where do I begin? Firstly by saying a huge, huge thank you to each one of you that have watched my show and been on our family journey with us.”

She continued: “This show has been such an incredible part of my life for the last seven years and what a ride it has been filming from being pregnant with Sunday to now. Your support and loyalty to me and my family has, at times, lifted me more than you will ever know. Thank you.”
“From the day I started filming I have poured my heart and soul into the series. I genuinely feel like I’ve laughed, cried, loved and lived with you, sharing all the ups and downs.”

“This decision hasn’t been an easy one. But it feels like now is the right time for a change. I made this decision with my children (especially Sunday who has been on this full journey with me) in mind. They are my absolute priority and Sunday is now at an age where she is very much her own little person and I want her to go out there and take her own path.”
She concluded her post by thanking ITV and her team: “@potatoitv and @itvxofficial @itv team are incredible and over the years have become part of the family too. Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. It’s not lost on me how incredible this has been and I will cherish these memories and moments that I have been lucky enough to have captured forever.”
