Rochelle Humes reveals daughter has been bullied
Speaking on her Ladies who Launch podcast, Rochelle spoke to Kelly Hoppen CBE about how friendships can be tough for youngsters.
The pair were discussing their time in school and Rochelle admitted she hates hearing that any child has been bullied in school.
She said: “If I hear that any child has been bullied in school, it kills me inside.”
But she didn’t stop there, Rochelle went on to reveal her eldest child has been experiencing some “tricky” situations, as her friendships change.
The doting mum explained: “It’s just an awful thing, isn’t it? And I think it’s so interesting. My eldest is 12. So, it’s sort of that tricky age where she’ll be going into the second year of like secondary school age. And the dynamics, I have really noticed it now, they change.
“You know how girls are to each other. And I just think, ‘Oh God, If I could shield her from anything in life.”
But Rochelle finds the situation “difficult” to navigate, as she never was a victim of bullying. However, she’s quickly realising her daughter has been.
She said: “I wasn’t a victim of bullying. But my daughter is definitely going through a touch of that at the minute. It’s so difficult and it’s so hard to watch. But also to know how to handle it.”

She revealed on her podcast: “I remember getting pregnant aged 23 and thinking ‘I am pregnant and in a girlband. It isn’t against the law’.
“I was almost made to feel that I had let everybody down by having the baby. And it really felt like I was trying not to be pregnant, even though everybody knew.”

Marvin and Rochelle Humes’ shock split
Marvin and Rochelle first struck up a romance in 2010. However, a year into dating and Marvin called it quits with Ninja Warrior host Rochelle.
Speaking to Tolly T on Bumble’s podcast My Love Is…, Marvin revealed he originally ended things after he got cold feet.
He confessed: “We had a little split about a year in. It was my doing. You know what the weirdest thing is I got cold feet for some reason and just panicked.
“I called it off with Roch and when I did that, I knew that second it was the biggest mistake I’ve made,” he added.
When asked why, he said: “I was in a relationship previously, but what I learned in that relationship was it went on too long and I didn’t have the balls to call it off and I was quite young.”
Marvin noted how this had the “reverse effect” when it came to Rochelle. He explained: “When I was with Roch, I just panicked and was like, I wanna call it off. When I did it I knew I was making a mistake. Broke Rochelle’s heart.”

Rochelle Humes admits ‘lack of intimacy’
In 2013, Rochelle and Marvin welcomed their first daughter, Alaia-Mai. However, it wasn’t all easy as Rochelle previously confessed it played havoc with her emotions and sex life too.
She told Cosmopolitan in 2014: “I’m not too proud to admit that having a child affects the intimacy in a relationship at first.
“I hate it when you hear people say they were at it again days later. I don’t believe it!” Rochelle continued: “For the first few months, you’re so tired you just want to go to bed, I was so emotional.
“One day, Marvin asked me what I wanted for breakfast and even that set me off. I just wailed ‘cereal’ across the house. We still joke about it now!”

Truth about Marvin and Rochelle’s sex mishap
Back in 2013, Rochelle got plenty of people talking when she admitted that she was forced to dash to A&E after sustaining an eye injury during ‘cuddles’ with Marv.
The singer let the revelation slip during a game of Never Have I Ever on Capital’s breakfast show a few years back, appearing with her The Saturday’s bandmates.
When the presenters of the time raised the topic “Never have I ever sustained an injury during special cuddles”, Rochelle replied: “I have!” While the blushing singer didn’t elaborate any further on the story, her bandmates were fast to fill in a few gaps.
“Rochelle went to A&E over this,” Una Healy piped up.
“I remember her calling me about this and I was like: ‘How do I know what to do?’” Mollie King added.
However, when the presenters at the time, Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon, tried to get Rochelle to spill the tea, the singer went very quiet. Keen to know more, Dave tried to put words into Rochelle’s mouth.
“You’re telling me our friend, DJ Marvin Humes, has injured my second favourite member of the Saturdays? Was it a household object?” he asked.
A little rattled, Rochelle replied: “Certainly not.” But that stern reply didn’t put the nosy presenters off trying to dig deeper. “Was it something you bought in an adult shop?” Lisa Snowdon probed. “Did you pull a muscle or is it much worse?”
Eventually, Rochelle finally revealed that she had injured her eye during her romantic tussle.
Marv sets record straight
However, it wasn’t just Rochelle who was left blushing. So too was Marv – who seemed rather taken aback about the revelation.
In an interview that followed, he played down the whole affair, admitting the ‘sex’ mishap was not true… “It’s 150% not true.”
Speaking at the time, he said: “It just came out of nowhere. It was all a bit of friendly banter between the girls. They made something up and then it all just escalated and got out of hand. As I said, it’s not true at all.”
He added that he had been left cringing by the exchange on the breakfast show and laughed it off, admitting: “It’s just one of those things. But you have to be careful what you say because people will believe everything.”

Tonight on I’m A Celebrity (November 24), Marvin Humes and Josie Gibson teamed up for what fans branded the most hilarious trial they’d ever seen.
Except a lot of the laughter came from how they thought Marvin’s wife Rochelle Humes would react back home in Blighty when she saw the clips.

I’m A Celebrity fans can’t wait to see Marvin Humes’ wife react to trial
Facing off against Jamie Lynn Spears and Danielle Harold, Jamie read the rules: “Welcome to the second playoff, Power Shower. One of you will operate the Power Shower, while the other will wear a giant sponge ball. Working together, your job is to soak up as much liquid from the shower and then squeeze it into the drain in front of you. You will win three points for every litre you collect.”
As Josie took on the job of being the sponge, she laid on the drain’s grate and yelled: “Marv, jump on me.” Marvin laughed: “It’s been a long time since someone other than Rochelle’s asked me to jump on…” Josie smiled: “Oh, sorry Rochelle!!”
But Josie explained: “I wanted Marv to jump on because I wanted to get as much juice out as possible.” As they continued to play, Marvin yelled: “Is it coming out?” Josie yelled: “Go a bit harder, Marv!”
Fans of the show were left in hysterics at the pair’s antics. “Need to see Rochelle’s reaction to that trial ‘squeeze me Marv!!’ I’m deaddd,” said one. “BEST bit of the series HANDS DOWN!!! If it was anyone else Rochelle would be so mad but Josie can get away with it,” said another.
“Rochelle watching Marvin say get your legs up,” said another with the laughing emoji. “Josie: ‘Harder, get on my back, don’t tell Rochelle!’” another giggled.
“Rochelle must be fuming,” joked another. “Rochelle is currently on the way to the airport,” another quipped.
A quick check of Rochelle’s Instagram seemed to show she was out tonight, so looks like she’s got some bedtime viewing when she does get home…
