The 36-year-old welcomed her first child with partner Arron Wright earlier this year and has told for the first time how much she struggled throughout her pregnancy.

Bianca – daughter of famous footballer Paul – admitted she was depressed while carrying Blake Sunshine and had “serious doubts”.

In a lengthy post, the new mum candidly wrote: “My beautiful Blake Sunshine has made my world it seems incredible she has only been here for 6 weeks, I feel like she has been here forever..

Offering her support to others, Bianca continued: “I want to reach out to any expectant Mums out there going through something similar, you are not alone and things will totally change once you hold your gorgeous bundle in your arms.
