Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily suggested she has made a huge family decision. The podcaster believes her children are 'not all here' yet, despite admitting she had 'difficulties' during her last pregnancy.
Podcaster Emily and her husband Alex Andrew welcomed baby Xanthe into the world in December. Their first daughter, Arlo, was born in February 2023.
‌
Emily has previously spoken of how she struggled with hyperemesis gravidarum during the pregnancy. The condition causes prolonged periods of severe nausea and vomiting.
‌
She described the second pregnancy as 'the hardest thing I have ever been through'. Writing on social media, Emily explained she was left feeling 'physically sick' at everyday things, such as the 'smell of my daughter's hair' or the thought of eating an avocado.
She said: 'It has been the hardest thing I have ever been through, harder in my second pregnancy than my first, due largely to the devastating guilt I felt not being able to be there in the way I wanted for my first daughter whilst making my second."

Emily explained her physical symptoms did eventually ease during the pregnancy. Although she confessed she hadn't had a single vegetable, glass of water, or a 'day unmedicated' throughout the term.
And while she has been open about her struggles last pregnancy, the podcaster told former The Only Way is Essex star Kate Ferdinand that she would be open to another child. On her Should I Delete That? podcast, Emily admitted 'there's room' in the family for a third.
She said: 'I look at my kids sometimes on the sofa and I think, 'I'm not sure you're all here'. Like I'm not sure they're all here yet.'
‌
When asked if she was considering another baby, Emily replied: 'I would like to. For sure, in some capacity. My pregnancies were really difficult so I'm not sure what that will look like.
'But when I look at the sofa, I'm like, 'There's room. I don't think you're all here yet'.'

Kate shares children Cree and Shae with former England footballer Rio Ferdinand and is step-mum to Lorenz, 18, Tate, 16, and Tia, 13, from his marriage to his late wife Rebecca Ellison. She joked she would 'have a breakdown' if she and Rio had another child.
She added: 'I look at the sofa and it is absolutely full, there is no more space, we are done. I think I would have a breakdown, I'm already driving like a bus because that's the only way we're going to fit in the car.'
Emily is Jeremy's oldest child and has followed in her father's footsteps by carving out a media career. As well as hosting a podcast, she has released two books, Can I Speak to Someone in Charge? and Dear Pretty Normal Me.
