Safia Ahmadei answered questions at Wolverhampton Crown Court where she is on trial for attempted kidnap.

She tearfully denied she wanted to take the baby of a mother she had befriended in the neo-natal ward at New Cross Hospital in February this year.

She said: "I am a mother, I could never do that to another mother, I just would never do it. I could never do that."

The 36-year-old explained how she had lied to her husband and his family that she continued to be pregnant with twins after suffering a miscarriage.

She said: "I was scared if I told him I had a miscarriage he would be angry and maybe leave me."
