It comes just over a year after the birth of their first son, Oscar Hamilton, who was born in February 2020.

She also described motherhood as being “mostly joy and wonder”.

“It is every emotion at its extreme and all mixed in together,” she said. “It is an extreme and deep joy, it is rational anxiety but mostly just joy and wonder, and in awe of this beautiful little boy.”
