Sam Quek has shared her struggle with balancing work, personal and parenting life and avoiding feeling 'mum guilt', admitting that she's 'hard on herself'.The Olympic field hockey player, who appeared on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here in 2016, is mother to Molly, two, and Zac, who she welcomed in March 2022, and has recently been busy hosting The NFL show recently.

And while the sports personality loves her job, she can't help but feel guilt when being away from her little ones. She told OK!: "I’m massively hard on myself when it comes to mum guilt, it’s easy to compare with other families and mums, and on social media.

For me, as an individual, I get to a point where I feel I need to reset." It's not the first time Sam, who is married to property entrepreneur Tom Mairs, 43, has opened up about facing mum guilt, previously telling OK!

that she felt 'constant guilt' over going to work while her kids are at home. She said back in May: "I get a lot of mum guilt.They’re only young for so long.
