"You said you've got two children and you're stopping, I said that when I was 35 and on my 40th birthday I found out I was pregnant," Dr Louise began in her question to Ferne.
"So what's your focus? What are you up to?" she asked Ferne.
The reality TV star said: "My sensible head is like 'no more babies,' but I don't feel done.
"I've got my two girlies, [and] am I done? I don't know."
Ferne, 34, revealed she was starting her own podcast called, Every Cloud, after ending her reality show last year so she could focus on "other passions."
The TV star rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2013 and quit the show in 2016.
Ferne is a mother to two daughters: Sunday, who was born in 2017 with her ex-boyfriend, Arthur Collins, and Finty, who was born in 2023 with her fiancé, Lorri Haines.
Lorri also has a son with a former partner.
She was recently mum-shamed after sharing a photo of feeding her 20-month old daughter to Instagram.
In the picture, Finty is feeding while Ferne kissing her child lovingly on the top of her head as they sit on the sofa.

Alongside the snap, the star wrote: 'Haven't posted about my breastfeeding journey in a while, but I still get a lot of people asking if I'm still doing it.
'In complete honesty, I've been a bit nervous to share about it lately. Even though I'm such a big advocate for breastfeeding, the truth is, I've been afraid of what people might think or say now that Finty is 20 months old.'
'I'm sharing this because if you're like me and still feeding, and you're feeling pressure to stop or wondering if it's 'not the norm' to breastfeed past one, I just want you to know…there are plenty of mums still doing it. Keep going, mamma,' she added.
What is postnatal depression?
Postnatal depression is a type of depression that affects parents after they have a baby.
The major depression is triggered by childbirth but is much more severe than just the "baby blues".
It can also occur following a miscarriage or stillbirth of a baby.
Many women can feel emotional and anxious after the birth of their child, commonly referred to as the 'baby blues', this will only last for a few weeks after giving birth.
If these symptoms start to last longer the NHS advises that you could be suffering with postnatal depression.
The symptoms include but are not limited to: a persistent feeling of sadness, lack of enjoyment and loss of interest in the outside world, as well as your baby, and a lack of energy.
These signs can build up gradually so a lot of people don't immediately identify that they have postnatal depression.
A number of celebrity mums have opened up about suffering from postnatal depression following giving birth.
Singer Adele has said that after the birth of her son Angelo she felt 'inadequate' and embarrassed to talk about how she was feeling.
John Legend's wife and model Chrissy Teigen revealed she was diagnosed with postnatal depression in December after going into a downward spiral following the birth of her daughter Luna.
Gwyneth Paltrow explained she was dogged by postnatal depression after son Moses was born in 2006.
Loose Woman Stacey Solomon said she suffered from depression after the birth of her first son Zachary when she was just 18 years old.
While her co-host Andrea McLean has also talked about the condition on the programme.
Another famous face to talk about her experience is WAG Rebekah Vardy after she gave birth to son Finley with footballer husband Jamie Vardy.
Kate Middleton visited Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute at King's College London to discuss postpartum depression with experts.
After speaking to scientists, the Duchess reflected on the day; although she has never explicitly claimed to have suffered with it, she said: "There's an expectation you're going to be super happy all the time, and one in four of us aren't."
Melanie Hughes, former Miss Wales and Corrie actress tragically passed away in October 2017 due to her heavy drinking, linked to her post natal depression.
While she was praised for her open and honest discussion about motherhood, with some calling her a 'rockstar' and others praising her for 'going at her child's pace'.
However, others were quick to criticise her, stating her daughter was 'too old' to still be latched on.
The NHS says the amount of time a baby is breastfed relies entirely on the it and the mother.
It recommends exclusive breastfeeding (breast milk only) for around the first six months of a baby's life, at which point it is ideal to start introducing solid foods.
"You and your baby can carry on enjoying the benefits of breastfeeding for as long as you like," the NHS recommends.
"Breastfeeding into your baby's 2nd year or beyond, alongside other foods, is ideal."

Dick and Angel Strawbridge inundated with messages as they share 'poignant moment'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Former Escape to the Chateau stars, Dick and Angel Strawbridge, have been showered with support following a heartfelt update they shared on social media. The beloved duo, known for captivating audiences on Channel 4's popular series until its conclusion in 2022, are no strangers to updating fans about their charming life in France. Tying the knot at their exquisite French chateau in 2015, the couple welcomed two children: Arthur, now aged 12, and Dorothy, who is 11. Recently, via Instagram, they marked an important family event as Arthur wrapped up his inaugural year at college — comparable to secondary school in the UK — boasting some notable achievements, as noted by the Express. In a post featuring a snapshot of Arthur donning a shirt awash with signatures – potentially marking his final day – Dick and Angel expressed: "Congratulations to our big boy Arthur! His first year at college is officially over and he has had a ball.." They further gushed: "It's a bit of a gushy parent this young man received some pretty big achievements this coming 3rd in his school for a National French Mathematics he was competing against all ages up to 15!", reports Devon Live. Continuing their earnest narrative: "Love him to bits and just could not be prouder... Dorothy still has a week left at it's all go with spectaculars and end of school parties." Concluding their update, they extended well wishes to all: "Have a fabulous Thursday!". Arthur has been showered with supportive messages from fans celebrating his impressive achievement. "Many congratulations Arthur, enjoy your holidays," a fan expressed, while another shared: "Wow that's fantastic Arthur, well done to you. Yes proud parent moments indeed." A third contributed: "Congratulations and well done Arthur," along with another who said: "Well done Arthur, that's fantastic." Dick Strawbridge, who is 65 years old, hinted at a potential return of Escape to the Chateau earlier this year during a conversation. He explained the conclusion of the beloved show as coinciding with key events in his children's lives, noting Arthur's preparation for senior school and Dorothy approaching her own transition. Speaking to a publication, he said, "The thing is, Escape to the Chateau is a year-long project for every season, and Arthur starts senior school, Dorothy is in her last year before she moves, and that change in the children was the rationale." He further noted: "Because we had back in 2022 huge conversations saying, before they get all the pressures that young people have in their lives on them, it was time for us to walk away from the escape. That's why we did it."

Jeremy Clarkson says he's 'done' after struggling with new 'venture'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Jeremy Clarkson declared he's had enough of his pub venture, announcing he's "done" with engaging in future business pursuits after finding difficulty managing the enterprise behind such endeavours. The Grand Tour presenter embarked on this fresh commercial challenge in July 2024 when he took over an Asthall pub. His decision came on the heels of previous success with Diddly Squat farm and its associated farm shop. Clarkson has documented his foray into the pub scene through the newest season of 'Clarkson's Farm', yet he insists there will be no repeat performances. The pub, titled The Farmer's Dog, has become a nationally reputed attraction, spurring considerable online engagement and reviews. Speaking to The Times, Jeremy expressed his resignation from entrepreneurial life: "I'm done with business now. I am not starting another business as long as I live. I don't understand it and am not motivated by money. I just want a good craic." Clarkson has used his show to share insights into his experiences as a novice pub landlord, including the humorous reason behind naming the establishment The Farmer's Dog. Viewers of the fourth episode witness him navigating paperwork related to the pub acquisition, where he uncovers that Oxfordshire is popular among those who indulge in sexual escapades in public areas, reports the Mirror. Jeremy Clarkson was bemused to discover that the garden area of his recently acquired pub is officially marked as a "a picnic site" by the local council. After delving into this curious detail, Clarkson rang his lawyer who informed him that the spot had previously been linked with some "unwanted and anti-social behaviour" which "might put you off eating your picnic". The lawyer revealed: "We have happened upon some quite interesting photographs which capture certain graffiti and certain goings-on." Upon visiting the site, Clarkson confirmed his suspicions, noting discarded underwear in trees. He humorously addressed the dogging rumours on Instagram, posting a photo outside the pub with undergarments dangling from a stick, captioned: "Tell me you bought a pub on a dogging site without telling me you bought a pub on a dogging site." In other news, the presenter of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? had a grave health scare that landed him in hospital after he woke up one morning feeling unusually "clammy" with a tight chest and strange feelings in his arm. Investigation revealed one artery was completely blocked, and another was nearly so, leading to surgery. Post-scare, Clarkson has had to adopt what he terms "horrific" lifestyle modifications such as exercising, limiting his alcohol intake, and diet changes, leaving him to jest that he's "not allowed to have fun anymore".

Glastonbury Festival mystery Patchwork act revealed as iconic band take the stage
There had been much anticipation over mysterious act Patchword. Glastonbury Festival have worked extremely hard to keep the identity of the mysterious Patchwork act a secret, but just hours before the band were set to take the Pyramid stage a clue was spotted and the secret was ruined. Speculation has been swirling on social media, with fans guessing the mystery act might be Chappell Roan, Harry Styles or even Robbie Williams - though Robbie has since dismissed those rumours. Since then it has been revealed that the mysterious act Patchwork is none other than the iconic Pulp. The secret was ruined earlier when a festival goer revealed to the Mirror that they spotted a revealing clue on a sound engineer's box near the Pyramid Stage earlier today. A source has shared exclusive photographs of the boxes - one of which is labelled with the band name Pulp. The source stated: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." Earlier this month, the well-regarded social media account SecretGlasto, known for accurately revealing surprise acts at Worth Farm over the past decade, revealed that the anonymous act was Pulp. The SecretGlasto X (formerly Twitter) has been teasing announcements for a big reveal at 10am on Monday, June 9. The results were a video compilation set to the soundtrack of Pulp's 1995 Britpop anthem, Common People. Shared across X and Instagram, the 35 second clip featured a quote from keyboardist Candida Doyle discussing her patchwork hobby in a BBC Radio 2 interview, followed by frontman Jarvis Cocker saying it's the "best music festival I've ever been to, easy, Glastonbury." Later in the clip, former BBC Radio 1 host Scott Mills asks Jarvis, "Would you step up?" before replying, "If it was a life-or-death situation." Pulp originally headlined Glastonbury in 1995, stepping in as last-minute replacements for The Stone Roses, and returned to headline again in 1998. This year marks three decades since their breakout performance - and the release of their landmark album Different Class, which solidified their status as Britpop icons. In an interview with the BBC about the many yet-to-be announced acts at Glastonbury, Ad, who helps run the SecretGlasto social media accounts, explained: "Of the four main slots, I think we've got three of them, maybe four, nailed down." "I think it's definitely people who have got relationships with the festival who will be doing the big slots. An emotional return for one or two, I think. Some unfinished business." Ad from SecretGlasto continued: "We've got loads of contacts at different stages and record labels and whatever else. And people trust us to be sensible with the information. And the bands themselves don't want empty secret sets do they? So we have had occasions where they have come to us." Interestingly, the six individuals running the popular social media account with 87.5K followers on X have no professional ties to the music industry. Another account manager, JB, shared with the BBC: "Now that we've been around for 10 years and have a decent bit of clout, we will contact some of the artists via their inboxes, and quite often, they're happy to confirm. "Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they block us. But generally we're able to piece all that together fairly quickly."
