She adores being a mum, and regularly delights fans with her posts which give a glimpse into their fun-filled family life. 

But Kate said she thinks it’s important that people know it’s not perfect.

Kate made reference to her difficult relationship with her estranged dad, Bill Hudson, but said she refuses to dwell on that.

"What is life worth living if you can't enjoy it?"
