Summary
This week, Zoe is joined by Made in Chelsea star Emily Blackwell for one of our most honest and moving conversations yet.
Emily opens up about the birth of her daughter Eva who arrived 11½ weeks early with no warning, no hospital bag and no pain relief.
She shares what the 53 days that followed in the NICU really looked like and talks about guilt, gratitude, the community she's built with other NICU parents and why the journey doesn't end at discharge.
Plus: leaving reality TV on her own terms, being a self-confessed Type B bride ahead of her Mallorca wedding and the one thing about motherhood that genuinely surprised her.
