Cat Deeley wants more kids but is at triple high risk

Cat Deeley would love more children but has been told by doctors that she is "triple high risk".
The 40-year-old television presenter wants to give her and husband Patrick Kielty’s 16-month-old son Milo a sibling but she has been told by doctors that her age is putting her at higher risk.
She said: "I would love some more. But I have got to get on with it if I do. When you go for your check-ups they call you a ‘geriatric mum’. That is the terminology they use, I swear. They say, ‘Ma’am, you are triple high risk.’"
However, Cat loves being a mother to Milo and likes to stay up all night to check he is doing alright.
She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I am awake all night listening out for him. I am checking he is breathing. I am depressed I will never sleep again."
Meanwhile, Cat previously admitted she is too much of a "worrier" to have more children.
Asked if she will have another child, she explained: "The thing is. I’m a worrier. What if something happens? I do want more kids. I love kids. But I really didn’t enjoy being pregnant and mine was easy. I was very wary of everything."
Cat and Patrick tied the knot in September 2012 after less than a year of dating and whilst Cat admits things happened "very quickly", she felt it was the best thing for them because they were both older and more self-assured.
She shared: "It was quite knock-your-socks-off for both of us. There were no more games and it all happened very quickly because we were older and comfortable in our own skin. A lot of our friends knew it would happen before we did but I honestly had no idea. Otherwise I wouldn’t have wasted so much time. And thank God he happened to be around and that I hadn’t missed him in the process."
