Myleene Klass has confessed just how much hard work goes on behind-the-scenes of her blended family – but she wouldn't have it any other way.
The proud mum who shares six-month-old son Apollo with her partner Simon Motson, also has her two daughters Hero and Ava with ex Graham Quinn, and Simon's two children from his previous marriage.
Myleene was brutally honest as she spoke of how home life is "not easy" and can often be "frustrating, annoying, expensive and loud", but that the rewards far surpassed the sacrifices.

The radio host explained in the candid post that becoming a family-of-seven meant her list of chores had increased massively and it had lead her to wonder whether she had taken on too much.
"I constantly question myself, am I doing right by my own kids splitting the little time I have with two more children? Five in total, more washing, more homework, buying more uniforms, more cinema seats, more food.
"You have to explain your own house rules, the dynamics and vibe change greatly for everyone as children come and go."
She went on to share all of the extra activities and chores she now did on a daily basis.
"'I now teach three lots of piano lessons, boxing, extra German, science homework, iron four uniforms, kiss five children goodnight, listen to more problems, add more bullies' names to my lists after tales of school, cut more hair, tidy more bedrooms, take seven on holiday."
However, Myleene continued: "The pay off… I never thought I'd be the person/mum/stepmum that I am. I never thought I could spread myself and my love all around and make such a massive difference to such little lives."
The proud mum also gushed about the many homemade cards she gets, and how her daughter Ava had filled in her next-of-kin card at school and written "dad – Simon Motson without even blinking, so we must be doing something right".
Taking the time to praise other blended families, Myleene spoke directly to her followers: "Keep up the good (hard) work up blended families.
"It takes more than DNA to be a family. It takes love, patience and a lot of breakfast orders! (Don't even ask Simon how many eggs he buys each week!)"

In a series of posts before her frank snapshot of her life, Myleene had shared an insight into Apollo's adorable bedtime routine.
She posted a clip of Apollo's older siblings tucking him in bed before singing him a beautiful lullaby.
"This is what bedtime looks like…. Apollo is the most pampered baby ever. We call him the emperor. We are all obsessed with him."
A proud Myleene then shared a screenshot of a text message from her stepson, who had contacted her to say thank you for helping him with his German homework in which he'd received a high score for.
Myleene congratulated him adding in a caption across the message: "All the children happy tonight… just got this text from my stepson. I drilled him. Super proud!"
She then put the hashtag "blended family" at the bottom, which led to her being inundated with messages from her followers praising her for being so transparent.
