The former Big Brother star said: “I internalised a lot of my emotions. I just did it at the time because I didn’t want to feel like I was being dramatic.
“I mean, I did feel suicidal, but not until around six weeks. But I really thought it was just a case of the baby blues and we were just going through a bit of a tough time. I did spiral.”
Having to take Noa to A&E several times when she was a tiny baby even made Kate question whether her baby was “meant to be”.
