MUMS THE WORD
NEWS COPY
Glamour girl Katie Price was yesterday (tues) hailed as Britain’s Best-Loved Celebrity Mum.
The busty former model, who now runs a sizeable business empire, claimed the title ahead of one-time Hear’Say singer Myleene Klass in a poll of 3,000 mothers.
Mum-of-three Katie has recently been forced to endure rumours that her marriage to singer Peter Andre is on the rocks.
But her love for her children is there for all to see in Katie and Peter: The Next Chapter as the couple cope with six-year-old Harvey’s septo-optic dysplasia while also caring for  Junior, three and Princess Tiaami, one.
Second-placed Myleene gave birth to daughter Ava in August 2007, and went on to publish a book about her experiences of being pregnant, entitled ‘My Bump and Me: From Morning Sickness to Motherhood – An Honest Diary of My Pregnancy’.
The star is the envy of mums nationwide, as she was out and about looking radiant and free of baby-weight just six weeks after giving birth.
The third most loveable celebrity mum was mother of six Angelina Jolie.
Kathryn Crawford, of www.TheBabyWebsite.com, said: ”One of the key factors which makes Katie so well respected amongst mums is the fact that her family isn’t ‘perfect’.
”She copes admirably with her disabled son Junior, and gives hope to many other families who have to cope with illness or disabilities.
”And whilst she is a savvy business woman, she rarely travels without her children and has the support of a good family network.”
It also emerged mum admire Angelina Jolie’s ability to be so hands on with her three-month old twins Knox and Vivienne, two-year-old daughter Shiloh, plus Maddox, seven, Pax, four, and Zahara, three.
Other celebrities to appear in the top ten include Big Brother presenter Davina McCall, This Morning star Fern Britton, former model Jules Oliver and style icon Victoria Beckham.
The study also revealed 55 per cent of mums said they admired celebrities who didn’t rely on nannies to bring up their children, whilst 24 per cent liked stars who took their children with them wherever they went.
