Loose Women star Katie Piper has made a heartbreaking baby confession after being forced to undergo emergency surgery. The 41-year-old has revealed in a new interview that a medical setback has prevented her from wanting to have another child.
Two years ago, Katie, who is a mother to two daughters aged 11 and seven, began trying for a third baby with her husband Richard Sutton. Her desire to have another baby arose during her time filming with female murderers for one of her documentaries.
It was during this period spent with the convicted killers that Katie recalls fuelling her desire to become a mother for the third time.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Katie revealed: “So many women missed their kids [in prison]. “It started to make me think, ‘This is my last chance to have another baby, I’m going to be 40. And if I don’t do it now, I never will.’
“I was turning 40 in the October so I said to my husband, ‘If we want another baby, let’s do it now,’ and we started trying.”
However, a spanner was thrown in the works when Katie was rushed into hospital for an emergency operation on her eye. Katie confessed that being hauled into an unexpected operation threw her plans to conceive out of the window.
