<p>The &#8216;Great British Bake Off&#8217; host was diagnosed with having a benign brain tumour in her pituitary gland, which meant she couldn&#8217;t have children, in 2007 and admits she took the news harder than she expected she ever would.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;It really did hit me, as it hits a lot of people, I&#8217;m sure, when it&#8217;s too late, this is not going to happen. I can&#8217;t now have it as an out-of-sight, out-of-mind possibility, lurking.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just not going to happen, it&#8217;s not going to ever be part of my life. And although I never yearned to physically have my own child, it felt like a bereavement. It really did.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 45-year-old presenter was disappointed with how it was handled by her doctor, but it took her a year to complain.</p>
<p>Recalling her conversation with the medical professional at the time, she claims he told her it had &#8220;made it easier&#8221; to give her the sad news when she told him she was gay.</p>
<p>Speaking to The Sunday Times magazine, she questioned: &#8220;Am I not human and am I not somebody who could be a lovely, wonderful mother? &#8230; Sometimes I get into the mindset that being heterosexual is a brave new world because you can conceive, and you can work out the rest of it, once you&#8217;re pregnant.</p>
<p>&#8220;For me, it just felt like I was sitting there with a pencil going, &#8216;What&#8217;s the best way to have a daddy? What&#8217;s the best way to have two mummies?&#8217; And it just felt like I just had a f***ing pencil in my hand, and this isn&#8217;t the way to start being a mother and that&#8217;s what was really painful.&#8221;</p>
