Lisa Riley reveals potential change of heart over her decision not to have children
After her drastic and life-changing weight loss, it appears that Lisa Riley may be reconsidering her decision not to start a family...
Lisa Riley has made a candid confession in her new book that now has people questioning whether the actress has changed her mind about never wanting to 'have a child naturally.'
The Mirror revealed that in an extract from Lisa Riley's new book, Honesty Diet, the star confesses to potentially changing her mind about getting pregnant and starting a family.
Previously, the former Emmerdale actress claimed that she had made a conscious decision that she was 'not going to have a child naturally' but that she may 'consider adopting' if she ever decided she wanted to have children.
However, after her drastic and life-changing weight loss, it appears that the 41-year-old may be reconsidering her decision.
'I don't know why I did it but the first question I asked before my surgery was, would I still be able to have children?' The Mirror reports Lisa reveals in her new book.
'Why did I ask that question? I wanted to know would the skin be able to stretch? Would the wound open up? I actually shocked myself.'
Lisa originally revealed her plans not to have children 'naturally' during an appearance on Loose Women last year.
