Kate Lawler has opened up about her relationship with fiancé Martin as the couple prepare to get married in seven weeks.
The radio presenter and her partner welcomed their first child - daughter Noa - 14 months ago, and the Big Brother winner, 41, says they went through a tough patch which left them 'in the worst possible place'.
Kate was honest with her fans as she explained since having Noa, they haven't prioritised their relationship.
But Kate did admit since quitting her job at Virgin Radio just a week ago has drastically improved their love life.
Speaking on her White Wine Question Time podcast, Kate revealed: "Since we became parents our relationship has changed so much. I want to say for the better, but sadly we both know, and we're acutely aware of this, that we haven't prioritised our relationship at all and we know that we need to take steps to improve it.
"We're getting married in two months and we've actually had like the hardest year as a couple so far.
"But we know it's because we became parents and your life changes monumentally when you become parents."
She continued: "I wasn't prepared for the seismic shift in our relationship. I thought it would change my life, me personally, but I didn't think about how much it would effect us as a couple even though I had friends giving me advice saying "look you're both going to say things you don't mean, you're both going to be more tired than you've ever been before".
"We went out for a curry the other night because I pointed out that since Noa was born a year ago we've only been out on our own on a date twice. It's not good enough.
"I can't be bothered to put on make-up and find something to wear. I want to sit in my pyjamas and read a book."
She concluded: "We'd only been out for our anniversary in June, four months after Noa had been born...and we spent most of it looking on the monitor like "ooh, is she ok?". His mum was babysitting. So the last week has been great.
"We're talking, we're communicating. We're just better with each other."
