But despite enjoying a hugely successful career, the 26-year-old has insisted that her job as mum to daughter Alaia-Mai, two, comes first.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Rochelle said: “I feel like I couldn’t fit any more into my day if I tried!

“I’m in a really happy place; I feel like I’m doing enough and balancing well. I feel like the days that I do work in the week I make really busy, so that the rest of the days when I’m at home with my little girl are chilled. That’s my most important job.”

Rochelle married husband Marvin, 30, in 2012 and she admitted that their marriage works because they support each other and understand the industry they’re in.

She said: “I’m his biggest support and he’s mine. We’re always rooting for each other and I think that is really important.

“I think, in this industry, it’s hard to find someone that will roll with it and be there to support you on the sidelines as well as you for them.”

Rochelle and Marvin regularly present ITV daytime show This Morning, and she was recently announced as one of the new hosts of The Xtra Factor, alongside Melvin Odoom.

She also has her fashion collaboration with Very.co.uk and it was recently reported that The Saturdays will be recording new music at the end of the year.

But Rochelle makes sure doesn’t neglect family time with Marvin and Alaia.

She added: “We always make sure that we make time for each other. Everything else can fall to the wayside as long as I’m doing that right.”
