I’m a celebrity…Get Me Out of Here contestant Brittany Hockley has opened up about her struggles with fertility.
The 36-year-old beauty shared her feelings during an intimate conversation on Thursday’s episode of the survival show.
Brittany seemed emotional as she talked about her chances of starting a family with her boyfriend Benjamin Siegrist.
“Different peoples’ fertility deteriorates to different degrees,” Brittany said before dropping the bomb: “Mines aren’t great.”
She also discussed her decision to freeze embryos last year with Benjamin, after previously deciding to freeze some of her eggs.

She continued: “And when Ben and I met and we decided we wanted to be together, we thought, ‘We know we have a better chance of having children if we freeze embryos.’
“It’s a weight off my shoulders in a way, but it’s something I think about all the time.”
Elsewhere in the chat, she admitted that she sometimes ‘talks herself out’ of having children.
It comes after Brittany shared the results of her fertility journey last month.
The Bachelor star and her boyfriend Ben decided to freeze embryos last year and have finally been successful on their fourth attempt.
The Life Uncut podcast host told Stellar she was “thrilled” with the result, which saw three embryos successfully created.

Brittany said that different peoples’ fertility deteriorates at different rates and admitted that her own fertility wasn’t “great.”
But she’s cautious nonetheless, because she doesn’t know if implantation will ultimately work for her.
‘Three doesn’t mean anything either. Three can be one child. Three can be none. Three can be two. But it’s better than not having one,” she said.
Benjamin was by her side during the trial, leaving the radio host in so much pain that she could no longer walk.
“I’m so lucky he was there to take care of me because this is the fourth time,” she added.

The couple had previously been left devastated when the process initially failed to produce the outcome they had hoped for.
On her podcast Life Uncut, Brittany admitted to co-hosting Laura Byrne. She didn’t talk about it publicly in case something went wrong, only telling people that she was freezing her eggs – instead of embryos.
Brittany first announced she was starting her fertility journey in 2021 and has spoken openly about the process of freezing her eggs.
