Claire Richards speaks about her struggle to fall pregnant...

Claire Richards who is dressed in a series of glamorous purple ensembles, perfect for showcasing her new slim frame, has finally eased her attitude toward falling pregnant, telling the latest issue of Essentials Magazine that she realises she's 'blessed' to have her two children. She went on and explained that the assurance of falling pregnant is slim, read Below


'I’m not sure if we will get pregnant naturally, but IVF doesn’t feel like the right thing for us at the moment.'


I’ve always had crazy hormones and when you think what I’ve put my body through in the last 13 years of losing and gaining four to six stone at a time, it’s just taken its toll,' the Steps singer continued.
'If it happens, it happens and if it doesn’t, I’ve got a boy and a girl. I always wanted a little gang of kids, so another would have been the cherry on the cake, but I know I’m blessed with what I’ve got.'

Nevertheless, the star has actively been getting into shape by eating smaller, healthier portions of food - though still indulges from time to time.


But while her dietary habits have changed, Claire - who is set to release her debut album later this year - admits that she still doesn't enjoy working out and even has a phobia of going to the gym.
Addressing her decision to cut out the personal trainer, she dished: 'I just don’t sit down any more. I walk everywhere and since we’ve moved to a house with a bigger kitchen, I find I spend more time standing by the breakfast bar talking to the kids instead of going straight to the sofa and turning on the TV.'

Now a size 10, the Tragedy hitmaker confesses that she feels more confident with her body, though she claims to have adopted her sanguine nature before she even began to shed the pounds.

'I feel more comfortable in my own skin now, but that started before I lost the weight,' she enthused.

'I did the Steps tour as a size 16 and that was a huge learning curve. I’m not as skinny as the others, but I can do my job and give it as hard as anyone else, no matter what size I am.'

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant added: 'I was worried, but I don’t remember getting any stick for my size. It felt like there was an acceptance and I needed that.

The only reason I decided to try and lose weight afterwards was really because we wanted a baby and it just wasn’t happening.'

The TV presenter tied the knot to husband Reece Hill, with whom she shares her two kids Charlie and Daisy, in 2008 and Claire insists the two are still very much in love.

'Reece and I are as tight as ever. We still try to go out just the two of us when we can. It was a real treat when we had a few days away together in Ireland recently. It was for my friend Brian Dowling’s wedding – and I’ve got Rylan Clark’s wedding coming up soon, too.' source : Daily mail
