"I wouldn't actually say it was love at first sight, it was more of a slow burn. We met, became great friends and then we fell in love," she told The Sun.

Jasmine was only in her early thirties at the time, but admits panicking over having enough time to have children.

“At that point, I was like ‘why did I leave it so late, why was I not fussed about having kids’.

“I was two weeks off my 38 birthday when Joy was born. So it was from the time I decided I wanted to do it, to the time I got pregnant was six years.”

She added: “At the time it felt there was a bit of stigma and I didn’t want to talk about it publicly … it really meant a lot when I was trying to get pregnant to do so naturally and I had acupuncture, health supplements and did all these different techniques because I really wanted to get pregnant naturally.”
