SPD is a condition that causes severe pain in the pelvic area and is diagnosed in around one in 300 pregnancies.

While in Dubai with her fiancé Michael O’Neill and three young sons Harry, Archie and George it seems the pain from the condition became too much for Danielle.

During an afternoon out at IMG Worlds of Adventure, the 33-year-old used a wheelchair to help ease her pain.

If she was feeling bad, Danielle certainly didn’t let her boys know it and grinned as they looked around the sights.

Ever the doting mother, she even stepped out of her chair to let her youngest son George have a rest in it.

She explained: “The flight home was a bit of a scare as when I was walking, it felt like the baby was pushing down and I nearly passed out once I sat down.

“I felt better after a sleep but I still really want to get checked out.”
