Emma, is married to Ceawlin, Viscount Weymouth, with whom she shares two sons John, four and Henry, two.

But while the boys are her world, the journey to motherhood wasn’t the easiest for Emma, with the star facing heartbreaking health problems along the way.

The socialite told Grazia that the ordeal was ‘extremely traumatic’, so much so that she admitted: ‘I can’t talk about it without crying.’

After the couple used a surrogate to welcome son Henry, Emma explained: ‘We were lucky to be able to do that. There are so many different ways to make your family. I’m just super-grateful to have my children.’

Emma, who looked sensational in a tailored white shirt and wide-legged navy trousers, added that now she’s immersed in all things, she has to juggle her training with mummy duties.

Discussing her first school run earlier this month, she explained: ‘When I dropped John off for his first day, I went straight from there to Elstree (where it’s filmed), which is bonkers. One minute I’m inside this magical glitter bubble, then it’s straight back to mum-life.  Literally. That is my life!’

As she discusses her life as a wife and mother, it’s hard to remember Emma has a plethora of showbiz pals including supermodel Kate Moss, who apparently is a whizz in the kitchen.

In a recently video for Vogue, the catwalk star, 45, cooked for her pals including Emma, who states that cake was a ‘great hostess’.

When asked if Kate has cooked for her in real life, she replied: ‘She has. We made roast beef together, with mac ’n’ cheese, for a cosy Sunday night in the country.’
