She wrote: "Motherhood, Thankyou for choosing me my sweet child. It is an honour to grow you. You are SO LOVED. You are my Guru now. Your daddy and I are waiting with open arms, Thankyou for blessing us with your grace."

Jessica opened up on her pregnancy journeyto OK! Magazine where she admitted to not recognising herself after leaving Made in Chelsea. She shared: "My first trimester was tricky, and I am definitely experiencing nausea, even at 28 weeks, but it’s all teaching me newfound resilience.

"I feel like I’m gaining strength throughout this pregnancy. It can be hard at times, physically and emotionally, but Mark is so supportive. I don’t know if I could do this without him."

She revealed how she had always wanted to be a mother and was "pleasantly surprised" by her pregnancy. Jessica had cravings of salt and vinegar crisps as well as Masala chai.

Speaking of the type of mum she wants to be, Jessica said: "I’m very aware that this child is going to be my teacher, I really respect that we learn a lot from children. I’m excited by this feeling of nurture — it’s so strong.

"I worry less now, too, and I used to be such a worrier. I’d come up with hypothetical worries, make up scenarios in my head, and then get scared. I’ve learned how to self-regulate, and I hope that will help me as a mum."

Jessica previously admitted she was still dealing with the 'trauma' of appearing on reality TV, which made her famous. In 2020, she branded her experience 'dangerous', adding that she regretted her decision to take part in MIC as she called for people to "cancel reality TV".

Addressing her comments in her latest interview, Jessica shared: "You know, I feel very grateful for that period of time because if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have experienced solitude to the degree I did, and I wouldn’t have looked inside myself as much as I did.

"I’m really thankful for that time I perceived as difficult, but now I perceive as a gift. I actually don’t recognise myself any more. I’m less ignorant, I am more self-aware, and I have a deeper understanding. I feel much more in my power as a woman than I did then."
