Celebrity guide to parenting
When it comes to being a parent, the celebs have some interesting techniques. Here’s their guide to being a mum in the limelight...

Step 1
Carry your baby at all times – even after searching high and low for the perfect buggy – to be just like Victoria Beckham.

Step 2

Step 4
Embarrass your children in bizarre fancy dress outfits, like Tori Spelling, to ensure they’re in the limelight early on.

Step 7
Dress your kids like they’re heading for the catwalk at ALL times in order to get Gwen Stefani’s seal of approval.

Step 8
Use your own projects to introduce your kids to showbiz early on, like Emma Bunton. Son Beau is modelling her own clothing range.

Step 9

Step 10
Moan that you can’t find a toy to ‘no one in particular’ (wink wink) until the company sends you a free one. Hey, if it’s good enough for Amanda Holden…
