Michelle Doherty has insisted she won’t be running back to fill in for Karen Koster on Xpose, while she goes on maternity leave.
The TV gave birth to son Max in August – and admits he is now he “priority” in life after wanting a baby for so long.
She said: “Max is my priority right now, I’ve wanted a baby for so long that there was no way I was rushing back to work.

“I want to spend so much time with Max as this is when they need you most. I do bits and pieces every now and then in London for Xpose and my agents here in London keep me going with castings.”
And the 36-year-old, who lives in London, said she is still only now starting to get used to her body after giving birth.
“I’m still trying to adjust, it’s like you have a completely new body, you don’t fit into your old clothes and you can’t wear your maternity clothes so it’s quite tough,” she told the Herald.

“I said to myself I wasn’t putting myself under pressure to get back to my pre-pregnancy shape because you go though enough with a new baby.
“Trying to wash your face on a daily basis can be a chore with- out adding extra pressure. It also reminds me that I carried a little human being inside me for nine months, which is re- ally quite special.”
