Abbey Clancy has conceded that life is much easier for her than it is for other mothers.

Posing with her own mum in a glamorous shoot for Red magazine, the model said that despite the challenges of being in the public eye she has life easier than her mum ever did at her age.

She said: “I don’t have to worry about the obvious things like money.”

Her mum Karen on the other hand, says life was much harder when she juggled a job and four children:

“I was working as a hairdresser and I’d have to take the kids with me.”

Discussing parenthood and the sleepless nights that accompany small children, Abbey added that she is proud that her and footballer husband, Peter Crouch, are able to take the hands-on approach.

“We don’t have any help or anything," she told Red in an exclusive interview.

"It’s just up to me and Pete to do everything. So when you’re tired and you’re up through the night, you're thinking, ‘How am I going to do this?’ It’s so hard.

"I don’t think anyone understands when you have a baby how hard it is."
