Jodi Albert Praises 'Incredible' Husband

Jodi Albert has praised her husband, former Westlife singer Kian Egan, for his support as she battled with post-natal depression.

The singer, who is about to reunite with her 90s girlband 'Girl Thing', admitted in an interview with the Daily Record that she suffered from depression following the birth of the couple's first child in 2011.

She explained: "I had a bit of post-natal depression but I didn't realise that's what I had. I'd look at other mums who were doing it all – baking a cake with five kids and the house was immaculate and I felt, 'Wow, what's wrong with me? I'm just about getting myself in the shower'.

"That was a tough time but once I recognised what I had, I was on the road to recovery and the cloud lifted.

"I can't even say how amazing Kian was. The times I was unreasonable he never got angry with me or frustrated – he took it all in his stride. He'd take the baby out or buy me chocolate. He's incredible."

It was this caring side of her husband that millions of people were able able to see when Kian appeared on ITV's 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' in 2013. The former singer spent three weeks in the Australian jungle and Albert said it was the longest time the couple had been apart.

She added that their reunion after her husband was crowned the winner was special.

"I think it made us both appreciate the other person. Kian has just got the biggest heart and is the most selfless person I've ever met," she admitted. "People got to see that and how lovely he is. It's why I love him so much."

The couple have been together for 11 years. They married in May 2009 and in July 2011 they announced they were expecting their first child. In December of that year, it was confirmed Albert had given birth to a baby boy named Koa.
