'I should probably get a move on for baby 2!

Since welcoming her first child in May last year, Jess Wright has had a tough introduction to motherhood. But with the worst finally behind her, she’s now got her sights on expanding her family and giving son Presley a little brother or sister.

The former TOWIE star, who’s married to businessman William Lee-Kemp, has been candid about her postnatal mental health struggles, heartbreakingly revealing that she felt like she didn’t want to be here at times.

Little Presley suffered from painful reflux and tummy issues, which Jess and her husband thought might be the result of a possible dairy allergy.

Fortunately, the 38-year-old is now feeling positive and in good health, and regularly shares snaps of Disney-loving Presley on her Instagram, referring to him as a “lively toddler”.

Jess, of course, found fame as a TOWIE original cast member in 2010 alongside brother Mark, 36, who’s married to actress Michelle Keegan and who clearly dotes on his little nephew judging by Jess’s social media posts.

Her parents, Carol and Mark, are popular with TOWIE fans too, while Jess also has a younger brother Josh, 34, and younger sister Natalya, 23.

Back in September, Jess, who quit the show in 2016, celebrated her two-year wedding anniversary with William after getting hitched during the pandemic. The date was rescheduled due to various lockdowns, and tragically Jess’s much-loved uncle passed away after contracting Covid.
