What's the magic number when it comes to kids?

Holly Willoughby's latest photo of her children is causing a debate on Instagram

“I’m always broody.”

What is the perfect family size? If you’re someone who already has a couple of kids, having a few more mightn’t seem like a big deal but there are always a few things to take into account.

Holly Willoughby has admitted that she’d love another baby but doesn’t think that being broody is a good enough reason to go for it.

Speaking to Stella magazine, the This Morning host revealed that she worries about what that would mean for her other children.

She and husband Daniel Baldwin are parents to Harry, nine, Belle, seven and Chester, four.

“I’m always broody,” Holly said.

“Part of me wants another baby but part of me thinks that’s not a good enough reason.

“Would it make the kids all have to grow up that big more because there was a new baby in the house? I don’t want to put that on them.

“I’ve almost decided not to – but not quite.”

Holly’s next presenting gig will see her jetting off to Australia – she’s set to host this year’s I’m A Celebrity alongside Dec Donnelly in November.

Having her three children join her Down Under for the duration of the show was a priority, she’s revealed.

“From the point I said ‘yes’ my whole focus has been working out the family logistics,” Holly continued.

“The kids are coming out to Australia so we’ve had to organise tutors.

“My mum and dad are joining us and Dan will fly back and forth.”
