Now the actress has revealed she’s facing a race against time to squeeze in another sprog before her 54th birthday.

But there could be a small obstacle in the way. Tina, who made the headlines after losing a whopping 11 stone five years ago, says she first needs to coerce toyboy hubby Paul Chase to agree to have another kid first.

“March is my cut-off point,” Tina told the Mirror. “If I’m not pregnant by then, I’ll have to leave it. I think, for me, over 55 is too old to have a baby. I’m 54 in January – but if someone else wanted to have IVF at 63, then whatever floats your boat.”

However, 34-year-old hubby Paul is worried about the effects getting up the duff again could have on Tina’s health. She suffered from pre-eclampsia during her previous pregnancies, and he’s unsure she could cope with another.

“We have to make a decision by February,’ she said. “I would go for it in March if Paul gave me the OK in January. I could still cope with sleepless nights.”

Super slimmer Tina has also spent the week thanking the various surgeons and beauticians who helped her achieve her weight goals. After squeezing into a size 6 dress for the glitzy Crème de la Crème Ball, she tweeted: ‘I’ve always been the pig in the room at these events, now I look and feel good, I cant stop cryin! Size 6 ball gown.”

The former CBB star lost 11st 4lb (72 kg) in 16 months when after having a gastric band fitted, reaching a size 8 and slimming down to 8st 2lb. She was left with a huge amount of unsightly excess skin, and documented her cosmetic surgery on a TLC reality show.

Well, best of luck to Tina and Paul whatever they decide to do baby-wise.

NO PRESSURE, PAUL.
