The 37-year-old mum-of-three also revealed to Phil and viewers that she would be taking her kids and husband with her to Australia.

She added: "I was speaking to the school and how that's all going to work, and Dan [her husband] and my mum and dad who are coming out as well, and suddenly all logistics are sorted and then I go, 'Oh, there's going to be like spiders and stuff there…!'"
