‘Thank you for all checking in on me … we are both well, although she made quite the entrance into this world & gave us a fright being born with congenital pneumonia, thankfully she recovered quickly but those first few days without my baby have really made me want to soak up every moment with her.

Rio said on Kate’s Blended podcast: ‘It was a typical Ferdinand household gender reveal – it all went wrong.
‘We were all getting reading to take the second bite of the second cupcake, and it was definitely going to be the pink or blue when you bite it then, and Cree couldn’t wait and went to bite it before we were all ready, and then Tate went “No, no, no” and then scared the life out of him. And then he was gone – he was screaming.’
In June, Kate told her podcast followers that she was going on maternity leave after recording an episode with Rio.
She explained at the time: ‘For a really long time I wanted to start this but just didn’t have the confidence, It’s only sometimes when you take a minute to reflect you can see how far you have come. Thank you for all of your continued support, it really does mean the world to me! Now time to rest and reset for baby. To listen search Blended wherever you get your podcasts. (sic)’
