Mum of one Georgia, 38, has endured a tough year after the recent turmoil in her home life, sparked by husband Danny's drunken kiss with I'm A Celeb co-star Maura Higgins.
Previously, The Sun revealed pictures of Georgia after finishing up her first podcast since her 39-year-old spouse's drunken snog - which plunged their marriage into crisis.
She was reportedly "furious" at the way the Star Girl singer had handled the aftermath of the scandal.
Yet now, she has bravely opened up on her experience of post-natal depression in her first TV interview since.
Danny and Georgia welcomed their son Cooper, aged seven, into the world in 2018, yet her post-natal journey wasn't smooth.
She told the show of her post partum struggles and said: "The immense love I have for him now [Cooper] wasn't always there in the beginning.
"The hardest part for me, becoming a mum, was just that. Becoming a mum. It was the initial entrance of Cooper into the world and how I felt.
"It wasn't that instant gushy 'Oh my God I love my baby so much' and I think because I didn't feel that, I felt so much pressure on myself.
"I wasn't the best person to be around. I was just low.
"I felt like I was failing, really failing at being a mum."

As she started to sob in the segment filmed outside, she added: "I didn't want that. Nothing in me wanted to feel the way I was feeling.
"You try and you try and each day you wake up and you think hopefully I'll feel better today, and you know, you don't.
"And then you're like 'Why, what's wrong with me?'."
Georgia told how McFly singer Danny had noted the change in her conduct at the time.
McFly's Danny Jones and wife Georgia Horsley - Love Story
MCFLY singer Danny Jones and his wife Georgia Horsley's romance is at the centre of attention after his drunken kiss with Love Island alum Maura Higgins. Yet when did they meet?
Danny began a relationship with model Georgia back in 2010.
He had been going out with his now-wife for four years when he proposed to her in Cyprus in 2013.
They married the following August in her hometown of Malton, North Yorks, in a ceremony which featured musical performances by McBusted and Ellie Goulding.
Danny and Georgia welcomed a baby boy called Cooper Alf Jones on January 27, 2018.
She added: "What he found hard was that he couldn't fix it, he didn't know how to solve the problem."
She then told how opting into therapy had been the best decision of her life.
PRESSING AHEAD
Georgia's emotional confession came after a rough few months for the influencer and her family.
Pals said she was keen to press ahead with her career and did not want to be seen as a "victim" after Danny's kiss was exposed, and the McFly star made an apology.
An insider said: 'Georgia has her head back in work and this year is already shaping up to be very exciting.
'She has got a fresh deal with Omaze to record social media ads.
'Georgia is refusing to be seen as a victim and after everything that happened she wants to crack on and get back out there.
'She has already done some filming for them and couldn't be more excited about what doors this job could open.'
Previously, The Sun was first to report how mum of one Georgia had been targeted by a huge reality TV series after Danny's drunken kiss.

Soaps spoilers next week: Emmerdale killer strikes again and Corrie LSD horror
Robert and John Sugden's rivalry is getting out of control next week in Emmerdale while, in Corrie, the Weatherfield teens are forever changed by a night of partying. Soap fans are set for another rollercoaster next week as some fan favourite characters will be left in the balance. In Emmerdale, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) is determined to keep half-brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) away from his marriage with Aaron Dingle - but could he claim another life as a result? Over in Coronation Street, Weatherfield residents are trying to move on from the shocking death of PC Craig Tinker, prompting Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) to urge Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) to throw a party on the cobbles. But in true Corrie fashion, the night is set to spiral. Much like ITV viewers, BBC One regulars will face their fair share of ups and downs in EastEnders with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) struggling to help Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley). But there's more drama on the way in Neighbours, Hollyoaks and Home and Away. Emmerdale Robert feels guilty about hurting Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) and decides to move out. John pressures Caleb (Will Ash) to end Robert's trial employment. Caleb invents a cover story, leaving Robert disappointed - Jai (Chris Bisson) later confirms John's interference. After a tense confrontation with Robert, John tries to convince Victoria to report Robert for hitting her. Overhearing them, Robert is upset and seeks comfort in Aaron (Danny Miller), who rejects him. Distraught, Robert tries to distract himself - only for John to intervene when Robert's date drugs him. John drives off with unconscious Robert in his van, before towering over him with a syringe in hand. Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) mentions Sarah's (Katie Hill) IVF to Cain (Jeff Hordley), assuming he knows and Cain is furious that Jacob is more in the loop than he is. But his angry reaction leaves him at odds with Sarah. She later admits to Jacob that Cain's behaviour has caused her to question herself. Jacob tries to reassure her and when she shares her fears over her mortality, he makes a bombshell proposition. Later, the seriousness of Sarah's cancer operation becomes an unavoidable reality. Elsewhere, Joe (Ned Porteous) hatches a plan to get revenge on Billy (Jay Kontzle) with the help of a newcomer. Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) overhears Tracy (Amy Walsh) making preparations for Nate's funeral and seizes the opportunity to get the Dingles an invite. Coronation Street At Bernie's suggestion, Aadi throws a midsummer party. Carla (Alison King) hands Betsy (Sydney Martin) the keys to the Underworld factory, asking her to lock up. But when Brody (Ryan Mulvey), Dylan (Liam McCheyne) and Lauren (Cait Fitton) walk in, she gets distracted and forgets. The group heads to the party but when Brody shows Dylan a bottle of LSD, telling him he intends to make some money, Dylan is concerned. Meanwhile, romance is in the air for Amy and Aadi but a misunderstanding leaves him hurt. Later, he kicks Brody out of the party after spotting him with LSD but when Brody's gone, Aadi splits the LSD into three cups - and the night takes a devastating turn. High on LSD, Summer (Harriet Bibby) and Nina (Mollie Gallagher) let themselves into the darkened café. When they hear the sound of sirens, they cling on to each other, terrified. Confused, they then try to retrace their steps for answers. But when discussing what they witnessed that night, they agree to stay quiet. Kit (Jacob Roberts) tells Bernie he's had the DNA results through and confirms he's Brody's biological father. Will he keep the news to himself? Elsewhere, Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) confides in Maria (Samia Longchambon) that Gary (Mikey North) isn't answering his calls, after expecting him to return from his mother's. Maria masks her concerns for Liam - but where is Gary? EastEnders Phil worries about Nigel when he goes out barefoot but fears grow when Phil returns home to find chaos. Danger then strikes as Nigel and Phil bicker over a pan of boiling water. Kat (Jessie Wallace) later clocks Phil is injured and, realising something is wrong, presses him to be honest about Nigel's condition. Realising he's in over his head, she visits Phil and suggests he needs extra support to take care of Nigel. Meanwhile, Nigel spirals as he helps Lexi (Isabella Brown) with her homework. Yolande (Angela Wynter) organises a party for Patrick's (Rudolph Walker) birthday and asks Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) to host at The Vic. Elaine agrees, roping in an overwhelmed Linda (Kellie Bright). When Linda is left to hold the first alone, George (Colin Salmon) steps in to help, causing Elaine to lash out. Later, Elaine goes big for Patrick's party, while Denzel (Jaden Ladega) welcomes his friends at the house. After trying to bribe his way in, Joel (Max Murray) takes Denzel to The Vic, where Elaine agrees to let them have a glass of punch each. But things go awry when the teens are left unsupervised. Elsewhere, Nicola (Laura Doddington) and Teddy (Roland Manookian) are concerned for Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) when he fails a chemistry test because of the stress. Nicola tries to cheer him up, but scathing Harry (Elijah Holloway) throws a spanner in the works. Hollyoaks Prince has doubts over throwing a party for Mercedes but she tells her family to continue organising it. Jez is concerned to hear Dodger has planned to meet with Tori's former social worker. Later, Dodger investigates what happened to Dennis. After tracking him down, Jez meets with the social worker, who drops a bombshell about Dennis. Donny arrives on police duty and privately informs Mercedes and Myra that Bobby has escaped the secure home, suspectedly in a social worker's car. Neighbours Andrew and Holly embark on a road trip in search of answers about his biological family while Wendy rushes home for a job interview at the school. She's thrown to learn about Holly's involvement in Andrew's journey for clarity. Meanwhile, Karl is in hospital, subdued and introspective, as Jane secures an interview with Darcy in prison. Elsewhere, Max's mother, Yvette, and sister, Saskia, pay him a visit. But he's shocked when Yvette announces she'd like Saskia to stay in Erinsborough. Home and Away Justin runs into Bree and Remi, desperate to get a message to Theo. Remi agrees - as long as he helps Kirby through her songwriting. When Kirby plays him some of her songs, Justin's feedback is limited. His apparent lack of interest sends her spiralling. Cash is desperate for Eden to go away with him, but she has other ideas, telling Mackenzie to decline on her behalf. But Cash gets Mackenzie on his side with a bombshell. Another shock then rattles the Bay - Eden's mum, Deb.

Let this adult star take you through nooks and crannies of new online safety law
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It's long, it's hard, and now one of the UK's most popular adult film stars has spent 26 minutes tackling it in a hotel room. We're talking, of course, about the Online Safety Act. The law, passed under the Tories two years ago, will soon dramatically change the way randy Brits access porn online. And Ivy Maddox is so keen for the public to pay attention to the ins and outs of the legislation, she spent almost half an hour reading every word of a government explainer out loud for a new video. Titled 'Coming Soon…', the short film is described as Ivy's most 'explicit' yet. It features the actress in a skimpy lace bodysuit, sitting on the edge of a hotel bed beside a hardback copy of the Act. Craig Munro breaks down Westminster chaos into easy to follow insight, walking you through what the latest policies mean to you. Sign up here. She warns viewers that the safe-for-work film they're about to watch will 'include some very big legal obligations', and asks them: 'Are you ready for full compliance?' It's quite a lot to get your chops around, but the meat of the matter is this: from July 25, all websites, apps and other online services hosting online material will need to have age checks in place. That will mean you may need to provide your email address, credit card details, or even a picture of your face to get access to your favourite porn site. If the owners fail to comply with the law, Ofcom can impose fines of up to £18 million or 10% of their qualifying worldwide revenue. Last month, Ofcom said 'most of the largest services' that produce their own porn content have already 'confirmed that they are implementing or have plans to implement age assurance imminently'. But Ivy thought it was important to get the word out there regardless. She told Metro: 'As someone who interacted with hardcore porn by accident when I was in school, I wouldn't want children to view my content – the same way I didn't want to when I was their age. More Trending 'I also thought age verification was an important topic to raise awareness of, as I know that, for the adult and sex worker industry, privacy and compliance are key.' The video was produced in partnership with age check provider Verifymy, which uses services such as email-based age estimation to tell businesses how old their users are. Ivy added: 'It's not my everyday content, but I'm always up for a challenge.' The full film is available to watch online at this link. Don't worry – you won't need to open Incognito mode.

Corrie's Lauren star Cait Fitton teases 'rollercoaster' LSD plot
Lauren Bolton is trying to build a new life in Corrie. But with more drama set to unfold in the ITV cobbles, actress Cait Fitton says her character will face more trauma. Lauren Bolton is clearing out the old and welcoming the new on Coronation Street. But according to actress Cait Fitton, peace on the cobbles won't last long. 'She's at a really stable point of her life. She has a job at the Rovers behind the bar and she's learning the craft,' Cait says, 'She's trying to build relationships. That's where the party comes in.' What begins as a chance to let loose quickly spirals into disaster for Lauren. The chaos kicks off when Aadi (Adam Hussain), nudged by Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove), throws a midsummer party. In the ITV soap, Lauren turns up alongside Dylan, Betsy and Brody. But things take a dark turn when Brody, played by Ryan Mulvey, brings LSD to the party. 'Lauren doesn't even know what is going on,' Cait says. 'She has anxiety over whether or not she should even be there because she doesn't know anybody apart from Betsy. She seems out of place, though she tries her best to fit in.' Then, she accidentally takes the drug. 'She has a traumatic experience with it,' Cait says, 'We see a side of her that we haven't seen for months. Her trauma is going to affect her future. It's going to be a rollercoaster. Everybody at that party - their lives are going to be changed. I don't know how she'll go through it.' Disney+ drops to £1.99 in rare deal Netflix and Amazon can't beat Lauren has already been put through the wringer since making her first appearance in Weatherfield in 2022. After surviving abuse at the hands of Joel Deering and welcoming her baby son Frankie, Lauren's had to navigate trauma, grief and isolation. On top of that, she's lost her boyfriend and confidant Max Turner, played by Paddy Bever, after his arrest and imprisonment for arson. 'It's been really hard without Paddy,' Cait says. 'My journey started with him and his time ended with me. It was strange to wrap my head around doing scenes without him. I miss working with Paddy.' Still, the pair remain close. 'I am in touch with him,' she says, 'We're both very busy, but we do catch up.' In Paddy's absence, Lauren's found a new on-screen ally in Betsy Swain, played by Sydney Martin - and Cait couldn't be more grateful. 'Sydney has a beautiful aura to be around,' says Cait. 'She's so positive and the best person to go to for advice. We clicked straight away. We're always looking for each other at work. She's like my home.' The off-screen bond translates directly into their characters' growing friendship. 'It's nice because they're getting close,' Cait says, 'Lauren has never had that and hasn't had the opportunity to bond with the younger people on the Street. She needs a backbone to rely on. Betsy accepts Lauren for who she is, and vice versa.' But Cait has also found support well beyond Sydney. She beams when speaking about her Corrie castmates, especially soap veteran David Neilson who plays Roy Cropper in the drama. 'I love working with all the co-stars. I see them on a daily basis,' she says, 'David is such a beautiful person, inside and out. I learn something new with him every day. He's got such dry wit, but the most powerful thing about him is that he has the capacity to make you cry. If I have to be emotional, all I need to do is look at David in his Roy attire.' Since taking on a job at the Rovers Return Inn, Lauren's been pulling pints and brushing shoulders with some of Weatherfield's most iconic residents, including Carla Connor, portrayed by Alison King. 'I worked with Ali a little bit during the Joel storyline,' Cait says, 'She's like the mummy of the group. She took me under her wing, even when I first started. She's absolutely brilliant. I've also learned a lot from Jodie Prenger.' Lauren's role at the Rovers feels especially meaningful for Cait, who's been dreaming of being in Coronation Street since her childhood. 'I was a massive fan of the show, I used to watch it religiously all the time,' she says. 'When I went to school, everybody wanted to be a nurse, a doctor, a policewoman or an artist. I wanted to be in Coronation Street.' It's a full-circle moment she still hasn't quite wrapped her head around. 'I've always wanted to do it, but I never thought I'd do it this early in my career,' she says. 'That's why I have so much love for the fans. We wouldn't have this show without them. I used to be one of those people standing outside the gates waiting to get a picture with someone!' Despite her rising profile, Cait is reluctant to use the word 'famous'. She prefers to stay grounded. 'I don't like the word because it puts you in a bubble, where you're higher than other people,' she says. 'I'm just a born-and-bred Mancunian doing a job she loves. I've come from the bottom and worked my way up - it shows hard work does pay off.' And while she's thriving as Lauren, Cait acknowledges the emotional toll her role can take. 'It's taken me a long time to have thick skin, it's not an overnight process,' she says. 'We are normal people outside of filming, but everyone sees the characters as actual people. That can be really hard, especially with Lauren, who is complex.' That said, Cait isn't done pushing boundaries. Before her soap stardom, she sang in pubs and clubs across Manchester, chasing dreams of the West End. 'I wouldn't take that off the cards,' she says, 'I'd love to do something like that.' Her ambitions don't stop there: ' Masked Singer, hit me up!' Off-screen, Cait finds balance in the quiet joy of home life, especially with her two border terriers. 'I love playing with them in the garden,' Cait says, 'One is a rescue dog. She bites through everything like she's still a puppy. I absolutely adore them.'
