Storm Huntley goes make-up free as she shares reality of parenting

Jeremy Vine presenter Storm Huntley shared a bare faced selfie as she opened up on the reality of parenthood.

The Glasgow TV star took to social media to share a make-up free snap in the early hours of Wednesday morning, telling fans: "When your alarm goes off at 5am but you've already been up for an hour. #ParentLife."

The presenter welcomed baby Otis Abi Okan with her LaFontaines frontman husband Kerr Okan in July. The couple, who tied the knot last year in an intimate ceremony in Loch Lomond, are frequently posting pictures of their beautiful baby on social media.

Storm, who returned to work on the Channel 5 show in October, has been open and honest about the struggles of parenting and pregnancy. The 35-year-old documented her pregnancy on social media and towards the end she announced she had contracted gestational diabetes. In June, the month she was due to give birth, she caught Covid.

However, the Scots broadcaster explained that her Otis updates are likely to stop in an attempt to protect her child's privacy. She said: "Kerr and I agreed we are free to share pictures of him until he's one because babies aren't really identifiable until then and anything you do before one is completely excusable and not embarrassing at all."

"After one, though, we'll probably avoid having him on social media. It's a consideration that we all need to think about when we have children."

The presenter took a break from the Channel 5 show in July after giving birth, but has since made her return. Fans were delighted to see Storm return to screens after her maternity leave, and enjoyed the occasional visit from Otis on set too.

On her first episode back, Storm told viewers: "It feels very nice to be back, although today was more of a lie in than I've been having the past three months. I'm leaving Otis with his dad, so it's not like leaving him in day care. I think that would feel very different. So I skipped out of the house this morning, into the taxi and now I'm here full of the joys."

She also joked that between parenting and presenting the talk show, hosting duties are now her "easiest job".
