This must be tough.

Danielle Lloyd has opened up about her son's separation anxiety in her latest OK! blog. In the post, the former model revealed that she has sent her son to counselling to try to overcome his issues. "He’s struggling at the moment, he’s very clingy to me and my fiancé Michael and is really scared of one of us leaving," she said. "It’s not something that most people would talk about.

"I think it’s important for someone in the public eye to make it normal, and point out that it’s not something you should be ashamed of, or think it’s not OK for a child to go because it is. I think you should start early if your child has problems. She then revealed that her eldest son loves going to counselling, as it gives him a chance to talk to a person outside the family about his feelings. "He loved it. I think it’s just so good for him to go and express his feelings to someone else.

"They’ve given him an exercise at home, if he has any worries he has to write them down and put them in a bag, once he’s put them in a bag they disappear forever," she explained. Danielle then explained that she's delighted Archie is so open to attending the counselling sessions, as she doesn't think many other children would be so happy about it. "I'm glad he’s so open to going as well because some kids would probably say no or get a bit nervous, but Archie is actually really up for it and really enjoys going," she added.
