'We're like a tag team!' Jennifer Ellison gushes over family life with husband Rob Tickle and her 'hat-trick of boys' under five

She let cameras into her home when she was eight months pregnant.

And heavily pregnant with two other sons under five, Jennifer Ellison becomes the latest and most brave celebrity subject of a 7-day documentary into her home life on Monday night.

Speaking about the one-off ITVBe show with Lorraine presenter Kate Garraway that morning, the former Brookside actress said life was a little bit 'hectic' after describing her parenting relationship with husband Rob Tickle as 'a tag team.'

Jennifer, who has sons Bobby and Harry with Robbie, gave birth to Charlie in September but invited camera crews into her home just six weeks before to film 7 Days With... Jennifer & Rob.

The show follows the lives of the four (and soon to be five) piece family 24 hours a day, including their day-to-day trials and tribulations. 

Describing what life in the Tickle household was like, Jennifer said: 'It's a bit of a blur to be honest because Charlie is a little bit nocturnal. We're like a tag team, I feed and Robbie does the nappies!'

While Robbie added that things were 'hectic,' Jennifer admitted that the show promises to be an interesting one as her middle son Harry had started to walk just when Charlie was due.

The couple's third baby, announced in July, came as a surprise after doctors told Jennifer that she had too many cysts on her ovaries to have more children.

Soap star Jennifer said that the final unexpected addition to their family made life at home all-the-more special and had even previously said she hoped for a boy, to make their family complete.

Jennifer continued: 'We thought that we weren't going to be able to have a baby because of my problems. So it's a little bit amazing really. We're very lucky.' 

Welcoming the addition on Twitter in October, the former Dancing On Ice contestant wrote: 'We're thrilled with the new addition to our family he's absolutely gorgeous and he completes us! A hatrick of boys!!' 

Now that the former West End star has four special boys in her life, she admitted that showbusiness wasn't top priority any more and she was taking a step.

'There's nothing better than one of your children telling you they love you,' she gushed. 'That's better than any standing ovation I've ever got.'

Jennifer has turned her attention to 'nurturing new talent' and has opened nine dance clubs called Jelli Studios in Liverpool.

Alongside her upcoming one-off reality show, the actress fronts Dance Mums With Jennifer Ellison, which follows the young dancers at her Fame Academy school, as well as their pushy parents. 

Dance Mums With Jennifer Ellison is on Mondays at 9pm on Lifetime UK.
