Mollie King and her fiancé, former England cricketer Stuart Broad, are marking the start of the new year by beginning an exciting new chapter in their family life.

The couple, who are already parents to two-year-old daughter Annabella, have welcomed their second baby, a daughter called Liliana.

Writing on Instagram on 5 January, the singer wrote: "Welcome to the world beautiful baby Liliana. We are bursting with happiness! You are the most perfect Christmas present our little family could ever have wished for."

In this exclusive interview with HELLO!, 37-year-old Mollie opens up about the joys and challenges of expanding their family, revealing how she and Stuart have been preparing to be parents of two children, along with adapting to a new life in the countryside.

The Saturdays star admits that, although the arrival of their new baby is a dream come true, the prospect of juggling a toddler and a newborn feels both exhilarating and a little overwhelming.

"For the first time, we've gone for a double buggy, which feels crazy," she says. "So, learning how to manoeuvre that and set all that up has been very fun. It gets us really excited."
