"It's been a busy couple of weeks with the birth of my beautiful little boy Buddy, looking after Buzz and keeping on top of work," Fletcher continued.

"It's definitely a balancing act between family life and my career, but I'm taking things easy for the time being and enjoying the time with Tom and our two wonderful little boys."

Speaking of her win on Instagram, she continued: "This was a really unexpected surprise.

"I never think I'm doing anything right as a mum, but I don't think any of us do. Sending out a big cheer to all the mums and dads out there who are simply doing their best."

Fletcher beat previous winners Katie Price and Billie Faiers, as well as newcomers including Peter Andre's wife Emily MacDonagh, Adele and Sam Faiers.

Once the top 10 was revealed, members of the public were able to vote for who they wanted to be crowed the winner.
