The mum-of-five has indeed said she’d love to have more children and is reportedly trying to get pregnant with her fiancé Carl Woods.

The star told The Sun: “Yes I absolutely want more kids, and I have always said that I will adopt.

She was also born with a cleft lip and palate.

According to Families For Children, they are about to give up on finding her adoptive parents – after an exhaustive two-year search.

If she isn’t adopted, the little girl will need to be placed into permanent home within the care and foster system.

The adoption agency has described Olivia as “inquisitive” and a “people person”.

According to The Sun, their spokesperson said: “She has a cheeky personality and amazing smiley face.

“The project is the last chance for Olivia to find her forever family before alternative plans are put in place for her care.

“Olivia loves to be with others and is a real ‘people person’.

“She enjoys listening to music and playing with noisy and colourful toys. She likes playing with her teddies and dollies like any other little girl and loves a bath.”

Indeed Katie has extensive experience at caring for a child with disabilities.
