Gloria: My racy novel secret as a new mum
SOME new mothers try knitting or midnight baking to keep them busy during the sleepless nights of feeding their babies.
But Gloria Hunniford says erotic novels got her though her sleepless nights.
The TV presenter, 77, said: ‘Fifty Shades had nothing on me at that point. When I had to get up so many times, I would think to myself, I couldn’t wait to get to the chapter to see what was happening next, so it got me through the night.’
Speaking to ITV’s Loose Women, she said she resented her ex-husband, Don Keating, because she had to stay up to breastfeed her children.
‘He couldn’t breastfeed the baby could he?’ She added.
‘I remember being quite resentful, thinking: “It’s alright for you, I’m exhausted and yet I still have to do it”.’
