The 40-year-old said that parenting is different for everyone, and that one mother’s technique isn’t necessarily inferior to another’s.

Speaking to Now! magazine, Katie said: “Ultimately, there is no one model for what’s right. And there certainly isn’t a version which is wrong – no matter what the mumsnet mafia might want you to believe.

“Breast feeding does not make you a better mum. Breast may rhyme with best, but paedo rhymes with Speedo and those two things are very wrong indeed.”

In fact Katie thinks the only thing mums can do is their very best.

She continued: “To discover you are all grown up and your mum is actually your best friend is a brilliant thing.

“There are no friends you will make in life who will know you better – and no friends who will love you more.

“I never want to be the sort of mum who will ask anything of my children when I am older. But I can hope.”

Katie added that a good mum will accept their child for whoever they are. She said: “Unlike Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat your mother will never expect you to have a life which is somehow fantastic or endlessly filled with excitement.”
