Jennie McAlpine would love a fourth child.
Jennie McAlpine wants to expand family
The 40-year-old 'Coronation Street' star already has nine year-old Albert, five year-old Hilda and 16-month-old Doris with her husband Chris and has only recently returned to the ITV soap after maternity leave but Jennie hasn't ruled out expanding their family.
She told The Mirror: "Some people love diamonds, I love babies! It’s chaos at home and my dressing room mirror at work is literally covered with Post-It notes of things I need to do, but even so, I can’t promise we will pause now!
"I love that TV programme '22 Kids Counting'. I can’t be like that, but there’s a long way between three and 22, so I can’t definitely say: ‘no more.’ I love work and I love being a mum too.
"If you ask me when I’m 80, I still wouldn’t be able to say no [to more]. I can’t do it, [the word] just won’t roll off my tongue! I can’t help it – if I hadn’t been an actor, I’d have loved to have been a midwife."
And, Jennie would love to incorporate her love of children into her career, by presenting a show such as 'One Born Every Minute'.
She said: "I love babies so much that I’d love to present a show like One Born Every Minute or Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, but my list at the moment, with the kids being so young, is definitely smaller and there are definitely stipulations.
"I’d like it to be Manchester and ideally, I’d like to make the children’s bath time in the evening, so I couldn’t imagine going somewhere overnight on a regular basis. I don’t want to do it right now. I know friends who have to do it all the time and I’m dead grateful that I don’t.
"I know how lucky I am to be at 'Coronation Street 'and to have a job that allows me to live in Manchester, nip home for sports day, go off and have three babies and then come back. There’s nowhere else I would have found that, I feel so thankful it has happened."
