Martha is Ulrika’s youngest daughter who she shares with her ex-husband Lance Gerrard-Wright and the pair divorced in 2006 when Martha was just two-years-old.
The teenager has been spending more time with her celebrity mother than usual as they ride out the coronavirus storm together at home, with Ulrika joking she has ‘questioned her sanity’.

Martha joked that having one ‘menopausal woman’ and ‘two hormonal female teenagers’ living under one roof during a pandemic is a recipe for disaster.
She explained that Ulrika’s productivity is in overdrive as she completes an endless stream of tasks such as bread making, clearing cupboards, gardening, redecorating or trying out new cooking challenges.
According to Martha, she feels misunderstood as her mother continues to pester her about sleeping in too late, as the 16-year tries to cope with the disappointments and uncertainty surrounding 2020.

She added to the publication: ‘She was more irritable, lost her patience and some-times she would just well up.’
According to the 19-year old, her mother would tell her off for minor things such as not changing the toilet roll and was constantly up and down with her emotions.
