Love Island's Camilla Thurlow on 'struggles' of juggling parenthood and working

Camilla Thurlow opened up on social media about a struggle many parents deal with - balancing working and parenting.

The Love Island star is expecting her second child with her husband Jamie Jewitt.

The couple are already parents to one-year-old daughter Nell, who was born in October 2020.

Camilla, 32, originally from Dumfries, tied the knot with hubby Jamie last September in an intimate ceremony after the pair coupled up almost five years ago on the ITV dating show.

Camilla has been open and honest about finding her second pregnancy much harder than the first, as well as struggling to balance the tiredness from working and parenting alongside it.

In a recent Instagram post, she said: "All smiles here but definitely feeling slightly defeated this afternoon by one high energy toddler vs one low energy pregnant mum with a cold.

"I even tried to initiate a game called ‘mummy takes a nap in the tent’, swipe right to see how that went.

"Oh and she isn’t wearing any trousers because I still haven’t quite recovered enough from the nappy change battle to attempt the getting dressed battle."

Camilla added on her Instagram Stories: "I should also say that on Thursdays I normally do a half day of work and a half day with Nell.

"Which is usually totally manageable, today I did not do a good job of either.

"I think it's just been a long couple of weeks and it's caught up with me all at once, but I am very lucky and grateful for the help I do have."

The Scots beauty announced her pregnancy in December to her 1.6 million Instagram followers, and has been keeping fans updated with regular bump pics.

Camilla previously admitted she would love to move back to Scotland - the only problem would be to convince husband Jamie.

The star told fans on Instagram during a Q+A session she'd love to move back to Scotland, specifically Edinburgh.
