"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."
