Meanwhile, Lydia touched on her first weeks of parenthood during a special Mother’s Day segment with mum Debbie on Thursday’s edition of Lorraine.
The TV star enthused she’s ‘proud’ of breastfeeding her newborn baby in public and also detailed her ‘magical and special’ labour in the pre-recorded clip.
Debbie reassured her daughter: ‘Just don’t stress over things, Lyd, because they’re babies for such a small amount of time and life goes past in the flick of an eyelid.’

The TV star later gushed about her birthing experience, but admitted she was left ‘shocked’ by the aftermath of labour.
She explained: ‘With Loretta, it’s just like a whole new level of love you didn’t know existed and just like that nothing else matters in the world.
‘The whole labour was magical, it was very special, but the thing I wasn’t really prepared for was the aftermath after giving birth.

On nursing her baby girl and embracing her new figure, the clothing shop owner added: ‘I’m just going to be proud and breastfeed in public. I’m going to bare my bosoms now!’
Well they’re big enough aren’t they? I’ve never seen such big boobaloobas in all my life!’, Debbie chimed in.
Praising the online influencer for getting to grips with motherhood, she added: ‘I’m proud of you because of the birth, but I’m equally proud of you because you are doing absolutely fantastic at breastfeeding, something I didn’t really take to.’
While looking at mother’s day packages, Lydia said Loretta Rose has taken a roll on her beauty schedule as she admitted: ‘Well I wash my hair once a week now!’
Debbie broke down in tears as a series of her former foster children sent her sweet messages ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday.

The Jump star and on-off boyfriend, garage owner Lee, 33, welcomed ‘dream’ baby Loretta into the world on February 21.
Introducing her little one to the world in a recent issue of HELLO! magazine, Lydia said: ‘I’m not even struggling with the sleep! I’m loving the night feeds. That’s my favourite time.
‘I sit there breastfeeding and I just stare at her. I definitely feel like I’ve been blessed with a dream child.’
Lydia and Lee dated on and off for two years but had split by the time the reality star announced her pregnancy in August 2019.
