Victoria Derbyshire supported over family update after she says 'obviously'

Victoria Derbyshire has said she would love to have another baby now if she could. The BBC Newsnight presenter is a mum-of-two to sons Ollie, 20, and Joe, 17, with her husband, journalist Mark Sandell, who she married in 2018.

ITV I'm A Celebrity star Victoria admitted she loved being a mum to a newborn. "I feel like, obviously I can't now, I'm in my 50s and I haven't had a period since chemotherapy, [but] I feel like I could have a baby now, isn't that mad?" she said.

"I love being the mum of a newborn," she shared on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast. The 56-year-old made her admission after having her first son, which she was "gorgeous" after she and Mark suffered a devastating and heartbreaking miscarriage.

She shared: "My boys know that I had that miscarriage and they fondly think, oh, what if it had been a sister? What if that, you know, what would have you have called her? They would've liked a sister." She said: "I was just so sort of practical and pragmatic, it was like, well, this is happening now, and I'm going to work and I just sort of carried on."

Victoria said she surprisingly had no anxiety when she fell pregnant with Ollie as she was "just happy to be pregnant again". "I was happy to go through the pregnancy, happy to eat loads of food and you know, put loads of weight on," she said.

"I loved it, I loved it, yeah." Speaking of her wedding, she said: "It was stunning. And if I can recommend having your own children at your wedding, I really mean that, they loved it." The journalist added: "They took so much from it.

"They were a part of Mark's groom speech, it was just amazing."
