She added: ‘Last time I was on there, I didn’t have a son. I didn’t have a fiancé, and I think with all those life changes – I’ve got two teenagers now – I’ve got different things I can draw on.
‘I’ve got different experiences myself. It is a really interesting programme because it definitely grows with you and you grow with the viewers as well.
