Candid: Back in September Helen revealed her due date is New Years Eve as she discussed her third pregnancy on Lorraine
Countryfile stars explained to Countryfile that their husband wanted them not to give birth too early, as she had with her other children. This would mean that he wouldn’t be able Christmas present.
Lorraine asked Lorraine when she was due. She replied, “New Years Eve.” They were both early, and my husband insists that Christmas can’t be missed because he was absent from the previous one.
“I told you that it’s okay if you make the dinner, then I’ll be sitting there with my feet up!”
Helen has previously revealed she gave birth to her second child on the kitchen floor in France while her husband was away for work.
Busy! Helen shares her sons Ernie (six-year-old) and Louis (four year old), with Richie.
When asked if she’d spoken with her son Louis, she replied: “I know god bless his soul.” He’s either proud or embarrassed, I don’t know.
“He said that I was born in the kitchen. He says yes. This was not what I had in mind. Nobody wants to have a French fireman by their side while giving birth, which was what I wanted.
‘They’d never done that before and were so excited I just said get back around my head please.’
Oh dear! Richie told Countryfile that he hoped her child wouldn’t be born too early, as she had with her other children.
