'I went to work straight after giving birth - I sent emails as soon as I left hospital'

A single mum who describes herself as "obsessed" with work has claimed she once requested to go back to her job just three weeks after giving birth - and answered her work emails as soon as she left the hospital.

Lydia Mujuru, 49, said she didn't realise how much she loved working until she felt as though something was missing in her life while on maternity leave with her eldest son Damien, now 23.

The mum-of-two returned to work six weeks after giving birth to Damien thanks to help from family and childminders to look after her baby - but took things to another level once she gave birth to her second son Sean, now 17.
