Millican has also shared that she had no plans to have any children and that she did not feel “remotely maternal”.
Speaking on the Graham Norton Show, she said: “I don’t like kids and I think it all stems from when I was eight years old and was given a baby doll.
“She was a giant and I remember having an inkling then what childbirth was and realising that I didn’t want something that size coming out of me. That was the moment I was put off children forever!”
