Michelle Keegan, 33, reveals family stopped asking when she’ll have a baby with Mark Wright after she called it sexist
MICHELLE Keegan has revealed her family have stopped asking when she’ll have a baby with Mark Wright – after she slammed the question as sexist.

She told Women’s Health: “I get asked about children whereas Mark wouldn’t for example.
“Why haven’t I had a child? When am I going to have a child? I don’t know what they want me to say. I don’t know what the right or wrong answer is.”
And asked whether her family ask the question, she laughed: “Not any more!”
Speaking to You magazine she said: “I’m used to people asking me but it’s no one else’s business.
She explained: ‘They know what the answer’s going to be’[/caption]
“Nobody else knows what goes on behind closed doors. I think that’s the reason that question affects me so much – it’s very private!
“Mark is asked about it occasionally but I’m asked every single time.”
Asked by the interviewer whether the family still ask about it, she replied: “Not any more! People don’t mean any harm by it, but they know what the answer’s going to be.”
Last year the actress shared an adorable photo alongside nephew Brody – the baby of her cousin Katie – who cuddled up to her on the sofa.

In the autumn, Mark’s dad Mark Snr commented on the snaps and begged the couple to make him a grandpa.
Reality and football star Mark has spoken about the couple’s desire to have kids, saying on his Heart Radio show that they have even picked out some names.
He told guest Robbie Williams, whose daughter is called Theodora: “Me and my wife, we’re not trying for kids yet, I’m gonna state that.
“However we hopefully one day will have kids and she loves both ‘Teddy’ and ‘Theodora’, right, and said – I mean she saw a picture I think of you and the family – and said ‘Oh I love that name so much’.
“I’m asking you, if it comes to it and she wants to call the kid Theodora or Teddy, are you gonna be alright with that?”
