Hitting back: The model, 38, candidly discussed the Friends actress' comments in InStyle magazine where she declared her ‘purpose on this planet’ may not be ‘to procreate’ and hit back at pressure on women who do not start a family

She said: 'People always ask – my biological clock is ticking, I’m approaching 40. I have tried to have children, I haven’t been lucky, I’ve had several miscarriages.

'People feel the need to ask, they don’t think it could be a medical reason you’re not having children.

'They think I’m a selfish person, I don't want children, people need to understand and look at why you aren’t having kids. When I’m asked are you going to have kids? I never have the right answer, I never want to go into it, it’s no one’s business.

'It annoys me when people look at you, they say you don’t have children, you don't know anything, wait till you have them,. I think that's a bit mean too.'

Denise Van Outen said: 'I get it a lot, as I only have Betsy, "will you have kids with Eddie (Boxshall - her boyfriend]? Believe me, we try a lot.'

Questions: Brunette beauty Kelly said she had been subjected to questions about when she was planning to start a family as she nears 40, as well as speaking about enduring the heartbreak of 'several miscarriages'

Kelly has spoken openly about her previous battles to have a baby. In April 2011 she experienced a painful miscarriage when she was six months pregnant by then boyfriend Thom Evans.

In her autobiography Close Up, she also admitted she had suffered another miscarriage in December 2011.

She has been in a relationship with Italian model Jeremy Parisi since April 2015.

Kelly's comments come after Jennifer spoke about being mercilessly scrutinized for not having children, often being compared to ex-husband Brad Pitt's estranged wife Angelina Jolie, 43, who has six children.

'No one considers how sensitive that might be for my partner and me,' said the star.

She said: 'They think I’m a selfish person, I don't want children, people need to understand and look at why you aren’t having kids. When I’m asked are you going to have kids? I never have the right answer, I never want to go into it, it’s no one’s business'

'They don't know what I've been through medically or emotionally,' she added, hinting she may have had trouble conceiving.

'There is a pressure on women to be mothers, and if they are not, then they're deemed damaged goods. Maybe my purpose on this planet isn't to procreate. Maybe I have other things I'm supposed to do?'

Kelly, who was a guest on the show alongside Denise Van Outen, also reflected on her 20 years in the entertainment industry, starting when she replaced the blonde beauty on TV show The Big Breakfast.

The star revealed she was friends with Johnny Vaughan’s wife who she met on a photoshoot, who then asked her to come down and audition.

She said: 'I had no TV experience, only 18, went in thinking not in a million years I could get the job.

'I don't think anyone could, as you were so perfect together.

'I was offered the job, remember going home as I was living with my parents, I said mum: “I've got the job on The Big Breakfast!”

'She said you can’t do that, I thought, I'd give it a go.'

'I went in really naively....it only lasted six months it was like an amazing media course really.

'After a few weeks I could see I was really inexperienced, the press were a little bit cruel,. I would go into work after reading everything terrible. I was never going to be as good as Denise.

'You just get on with it. I thought I would go somewhere else and start again.

'I had to watch the show back with producers and see where I went wrong, they would tell me to wear something else.'

Denise responded: 'Hearing they made you watch it back, it's so horrible. You're still here Kelly, it didn't knock you down.

'They really tried to manipulate me into saying something, the only reason I left was just to sleep and catch-up on sleep. They would say "are you smug, it’s not going well "- that's not me at all!

'I love the fact we're working together now on Loose Women, imagine if we did The Big Breakfast together, a comeback!'
