River is certainly doted on by his family, including his four older siblings, sister Poppy, 16, Daisy, 15, and Petal, nine, and brother Buddy, eight. Speaking in an interview on podcast Made by Mammas about River, Jools said: "They love him! They absolutely adore him. He doesn't really speak very much as there is so much noise and everyone speaks for him but everyone loves him."

While Jamie and Jools have their hands full with five children, Jools hasn’t completely ruled out having another baby, although she did say that she would like to do so before her 44th birthday, which was last week. She said: "I am going to be 44 in November so it would be nice to get it in before I am 44, but you don’t know if anything is going to happen. After that I think am getting a bit too old. I am very happy with what I've got, but a little baby you can't beat it!"

As well as looking after her children, Jools also designs clothes and products for Mothercare's baby range Little Bird. On her birthday, Jools had double the reason to celebrate as Little Bird was named the winner of the Gold award at the Mother & Baby Awards for the brand's Roll Stroller. Jools took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday night to share a photo of her award, and wrote: "We won!"
