“It’s no one’s business,” she continued. “And I think now, even now, I’m still learning how to deal with things like that. I used to blab and go on about it, whereas now I’m like, ‘I don’t want to answer questions like that, it’s personal’.”

As well as it being an invasion of privacy, the question of whether a woman is going to have children is often asked through a sexist lens, with men rarely being subjected to a similar line of questioning.

Keegan said: “I do find it strange that my husband doesn’t get that question, or if he does it’s on behalf of me. It’s not like, ‘Do you want children?’ It’s, ‘Does Michelle want children?’ Just because I’m a woman.

“I do see the divide there and I do see it’s different, completely different. It’s quite frustrating.”
