She is proud mum to two boys - three-year-old Bobby and Cole, one.

And while Kimberley Walsh has certainly got the mummy act down, she admitted on the latest issue of Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby that she fears breastfeeding in public due to her fame. 

The 36-year-old former Girls Aloud singer discussed motherhood, as she also confessed being pregnant was a highlight as she could distance herself from the diets regimented into her from her girlband days.   

Happy days: Kimberley Walsh has certainly got the mummy act down with her two sons two boys - three-year-old Bobby and Cole, one yet she admitted on the latest issue of Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby that she fears breastfeeding in public

Kimberley, who has her boys with former boyband star Justin Scott, was candid about the struggles - particularly when her tots would not take her milk. 

Speaking of their joint effort, she said: 'When they're not feeding, it's so terrible. Some of the nights me and Justin had - literally him squeezing the milk out of me literally two drops into his mouth. 

'We got there in the end but it took months. Those vile nipple shields but I couldn't have done it without them. Once they were feeding, they were growing.'

On the battle of being famous and breastfeeding, she said: 'You know some people might recognise you and it is worse. You wish you were anonymous.

'You try to be discreet and I used to do feeds in the toilet alone. With Cole I got braver. You don't want someone looking over and thinking: "Is that Kimberley's boob?" I was envious of my sister and friends who used to whip it out. With Cole I got over it because I just thought who cares? It's a boob'. 

Giovanna went on to reveal she could 'shoot her milk' across a dinner table and sprayed her friend with milk. 

On her relationship with Justin, she said: 'It brought us closer together. We were together for so long I didn't think I could have any more love for him but with each kid there's a little bit more.' 

Of softening since having children, she said: 'Since being a mum I am no longer the ice queen… I am a bit emotional these days, I never used to be, just since having kids, it literally broke something down and I’ve never been the same since'.

Discussing things: She revealed all on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby

Kimberley confessed her worries over their respective development, saying: 'Bobby spoke so early that it'll be change if Cole doesn't talk for a while. But you get to know when they want something so you don't need words'.  

As a famous working mum, she confessed things can be crazy as she said: 'It's quite funny with my week, I can be in soft play hell or be at an event the next day. I hate not being there for bedtime.'

On body image as a mum and pregnant woman, she said: 'I always knew I'd never be the pregnant woman with a football up her jumper. 

'I always put weight on everywhere. I've always been curvy but the one thing that's small was my waist which was annoying to lose but I didn't care.

'I was so glad I didn't have to care because I had that excuse. The second time I thought (I don't want to have that much weight ever again. 

'The body thing is hard - I'm waiting for it to kick in with Col - it's not that I can't be bothered. If I was still in the band I would pressure myself. 

'I spend a lot of time running around after those boys. When the sun comes out and the reality of wearing swimwear. Any swimwear fills me with dread now.'

She spoke of meeting new friends, she said: 'It was liberating to become a mum and meet lots of normal mums. 

'Before being a mum I was always with the band and I didn't generally meet that many new people. But baby groups you always have something in common. I forced myself to do it with Bobby.'
