Vogue Williams Returns to Loose Women After Welcoming Baby Boy
Vogue Williams returned to ITV's Loose Women on October 12 after giving birth to her fourth child, bringing her newborn son to the studio and discussing motherhood, work and public criticism. The presenter joined Coleen Nolan, Ruth Langsford and Jane Moore for the daytime show, according to Mirror.
Ruth Langsford welcomed Williams back to the panel after her recent absence following the birth. She noted that Williams had last appeared while heavily pregnant.
"It's a big welcome back to Vogue Williams." said Ruth Langsford.
Langsford continued the introduction by highlighting Williams' return after pregnancy and the change since her previous appearance.
"It's absolutely lovely to have Vogue back with us. Last time you were here you were heavily pregnant." said Ruth Langsford.
Williams told viewers that her baby boy was waiting backstage and said she felt better than during her previous appearance. She described her fourth child as easy to care for so far.
"great" said Vogue Williams.
Williams said her newborn son had joined her during her television return and that she was adjusting to life with four children.
"He's so good, I try not to jinx it though." said Vogue Williams.
The presenter explained that returning to work felt natural because of her active routine with her older children. She said staying at home for long periods did not fit her personality.
"I cannot ever sit down, I can't sit down and watch a movie, I don't sit still. With three other kids, it didn't feel like I was coming back." said Vogue Williams.
Williams also described bringing the baby home and introducing him to his siblings shortly after leaving the hospital.
"I got back from the hospital, we literally put the baby in the pram, and we walked up and collected the kids from school because I wanted them to see him and you wanted to be around." said Vogue Williams.
She said she had always planned to resume work because she enjoys professional commitments and believes bringing a baby along is increasingly accepted.
"I always wanted to go back to work" said Vogue Williams.
"It's so much more acceptable to bring the baby with you." said Vogue Williams.
Some people questioned whether Williams had returned to work too soon after giving birth, prompting a discussion about parenting choices.
"too soon" was used by critics discussing Vogue Williams' return to work.
Williams said she found public judgment over parenting decisions unusual and focused on children's wellbeing.
"I find it bizarre that anyone would think that they should have an opinion on someone else's parenting." said Vogue Williams.
She added that remaining at home constantly would not suit her lifestyle and that she would struggle with that situation.
"pull her hair out" said Vogue Williams when describing how she would feel if she had to stay home all the time.
Williams said being active outside the home after birth had never been in doubt for her.
"never a question" said Vogue Williams about whether she would be out and about after giving birth.
Coleen Nolan shared her own experience of returning to work after having children and said mothers make different choices based on their circumstances.
"I had to go back to work." said Coleen Nolan.
"You do what you have to do." said Coleen Nolan.
Nolan also discussed the pressure placed on parents in the age of social media and said online criticism makes parenting more difficult.
"I'd hate to have a baby in this day and age with social media because you can't do right for doing wrong." said Coleen Nolan.
Williams said she had become more accustomed to online reactions and chooses whether to respond to criticism.
"I kind of find it funny at this stage, I'm just like this is ridiculous. Sometimes I respond, sometimes I don't even block I don't want them to know I've seen it." said Vogue Williams.
