Gaz Beadle’s ex Emma McVey detailed the ‘struggles of juggling life’ as a single parent on Instagram on Tuesday following the pair’s split last year.
The model, 31, shares Chester, five, and Primrose, three, with the Geordie Shore star, 35, and announced in November that the pair had separated.
Emma revealed ‘life is 1000mph’ at the minute but despite this she is ‘the happiest’ she has been in a long time and thanked fans for their support.
Sharing a mirror selfie, Emma penned: ‘I want to say thank you for the lovely messages and comments you guys send daily. Without you I wouldn’t have my main job, so thank you for being so supportive.
‘I also wanted to touch on life recently, I’m slow and not as responsive because the mental load atm is so much and life is 1000mph but for being a newly single mum, I’m actually the happiest I’ve been in a long time, it’s just a struggle to juggle life sometimes.’

Emma also shared an adorable picture of Primrose as she revealed her little girl isn’t old enough yet for school, but goes to nursery twice a week.
She wrote: ‘My little crazy who looks like she’s six isn’t in school yet so I have Monday’s and Wednesdays child free when she goes to nursery. And those 5 hours fly by!’
Giving ‘advice’ to other single mums, Emma revealed that ‘taking time to yourself’ is what ‘helps’ her from ‘burning out’.
She continued: ‘And if I could give any advice to newly single mummy’s going through this too, or even mums to be honest, it’s take sometime for yourself, I never prioritised this before but since doing so it’s helped so much.
‘There’s only so much we can take on without getting overstimulated and burnt out. Our children want a happy mum.’
Emma also detailed her co-parenting schedule with Gaz, she explained: ‘My Fridays they see their dad and come home Saturday. I’ve started using this time for myself’.
The former couple tied the knot in July 2021 after five years together.
At the start of their split, Emma remained silent but has since opened up on the end of her marriage.

Emma previously explained she had been ‘focusing on her children’ and was still ‘trying to make it easier for everyone.’
She wrote: ‘The kids are now not with me on a Friday and while I’d love to say that I get so much done in that time I don’t.’
Emma continued: ‘It’s been really hard for me and the kids to be separated and we are still trying to make it easier for everyone. There’s lots of crying on FaceTime, especially in the evening, which breaks my heart.
‘I am absolutely not putting this out for sympathy, but I’ve had so many messages from people finding it odd that I haven’t really acknowledged anything.
‘I actually keep my personal life very private, I also turn mute when I’m going through a lot. Online and to my friends and family.
‘I’m not entirely sure why I do this but I guess it’s just my way of dealing with things. I’m only just replying to messages from weeks ago to my friends and that’s not because I’m rude.
‘It’s because I’ve been numb, focusing on my children and still trying to work. I’ve genuinely not even known what to say.
She concluded: ‘I’m hoping this will all get easier with time. Sending so much love to everyone who is going through or has been through something similar and thank you so much to everyone who has been checking in with me.’
