Dancing On Ice contestant Hayley Tamaddon has admitted that she is desperately broody and wants to start a family asap.

The former ‘Emmerdale’ actress is engaged to her boyfriend Darren Charles and in a recent interview with new! magazine she said:

“Darren’s got two children from his first relationship – Issy, who’s nine, and Thai, who’s 14. But I am definitely broody and I cannot wait to have a child of my own. I’m very lucky – they’re beautiful children and it’s a lovely situation between all of us. We all get on extremely well.

“It’s a very amicable situation. Their mother supports me in everything and it’s just very normal.”

The children have been spending more time with Hayley and Darren as she competes on Dancing On Ice.

She explained: “They made banners at school and brought them along. Issy, Darren’s little boy, got everybody’s autograph and Gordon Ramsay gave him a fiver, bless him.”
