Emma Vardy wrote on her social media handle: “Well that’s a glorious maternity leave over. A beautiful, exhausting, unforgettable few months that I’ll treasure forever with both my boys. Here’s to all the working mums juggling the night feeds, the nursery drop offs and the return to the office.”

On social platform X, Emma Vardy's fans shared intriguing responses with one user writing, “ It’s no wonder Roger had a big smile. You brightened up a dull Sunday.”

Second remarked: “ Glad to see you back glad all going well, if not tired.”
