Katie Price has started the process to adopt a child.
The 38-year-old star – who has Harvey, 14, Junior, 11, and Princess, nine, from past relationships, and Jett, three, and Bunny, two, with her husband Kieran Hayler – has revealed she wants to "give her body a rest" and so has turned to adoption to welcome her sixth child.
She said: "I’ve already started the process to adopt, so fingers crossed. You have to do everything legally and go down that road. The problem isn’t just getting a child, that’s the easy bit, it’s all the checks.
"I’m just waiting to be interviewed by the adoption agency. I’ve always said I’d love to adopt and I feel this is the right child now to do it … I feel like I don’t want any myself physically, I feel like a baby machine. I want to give my body a rest!"
And Katie insisted she isn’t worried about her critics berating her for having another child.
She added: "If I can offer a home to another child, why not. If I’ve got the money, love and support, it’s better than a child being dead or not having a home."
Meanwhile, the mother-of-five also revealed Princess and Junior have been turning down job offers because they’re not being offered enough money.
Speaking in a Facebook live chat, she said: "Someone the other day said they want them to model their clothes and stuff, so I said, ‘How much are you offering?’ and they gave me a figure and I was like, ‘No she doesn’t go out for that fee.’
"I said to Princess, ‘Do you want to do it, they’re only offering that amount’ and she said, ‘No,’ because she knows what she can get – she’s good already.
"Junior wants to present Jeremy Kyle, he wants to go on X Factor then he says he wants to do Britain’s Got Talent. He wants to do everything, he says, ‘I just want to be on TV.’"
