GEORDIE Shore star Holly Hagan has revealed that she and husband Jacob Blyth are sleeping in separate bedrooms.

Sharing a voice clip of her son’s grunting, Holly, 30, admitted it had been “hell on earth” and said she and her new hubby were forced to sleep apart.
Sharing a lengthy post, Holly explained: “A little backstory – we had experienced intense grunting from Alpha-Jax since he was about 3 weeks old.
“He would also grunt during his bottles. It wasn’t constipation or trapped wind as he sounds totally different when he has either of those.
“Otherwise he was a super happy chilled baby and he was sleeping well it was just us that couldn’t sleep due to his noise.
“He was clearly uncomfortable. He rarely threw up from his bottles and we noticed he only like to turn his head 1 way which meant his head was flattening on one side.”
Holly said she eventually changed their son’s milk to an organic one, which is when they started noticing a “big difference” to his grunting.
The Newcastle star continued: “I think the issue was a combination of neck tension along with difficulty digesting the whole milk causing the grunting.”
Holly added: “A reminder of the hell on Earth sound that I listened to every night for 7 weeks!!!”
The reality favourite said she would be left sleep deprived as the sound would keep her and Jacob up at night.
She wrote: “For those who haven’t seen me speak about this before we started sleeping in separate bedrooms because of the grunting.
“Jacob will go to bed at 10pm and I’d take Alpha in at 4.30-10am.
“More recently I’ve not been able to fall asleep till 5.30 so my wake up time was 10.30/11 which was annoying by the time I’m showed and dressed its midday!”
Holly added: “Before I get an influx of DMs asking if I’m worried about our marriage with us sleeping in separate rooms – no I’m not worried where we are when our eyes are closed.
“We do spend every minute of the day together so we’re very lucky.
“But if my marriage couldn’t survive us sleeping separate for a few months, I’d have married the wrong man.
“I would be a lot more worried about how the sleep deprivation would have an effect on us over where you sleep.
“You do what’s best for you as a family.”
In June, Holly shared her happy baby news on social media.
New mum Holly penned: “He’s here! We’re doing amazing. Little hospital update will be on my blog tomorrow morning.
“Huge thank you to the incredible staff at Wythenshawe Hospital. I couldn’t have wished for a better birth experience. Just enjoying our little baby bubble.”
