"I had an inkling that I was having a girl, but I was a bit more unsure than with Roman. With him I just knew - I don't know why but even before we found out, I said: 'I know, one hundred per cent, it's a boy.'"

Of motherhood, she added: "You experience this whole new kind of love, and they are your world. Nothing else really matters."
