What's your experience of being in a step-family - what advice would you give to other families who are becoming blended?

ON THE PHONE-IN
Stepfamilies are now the fastest growing family type in the UK. It's estimated that one in three of all families are now blended families. It's the subject of a 大象传媒 documentary which goes out tonight following Rio Ferdinand's family as his fianc茅e Kate Wright integrates into the family and becomes a step-mum to Rio鈥檚 three children, Lorenz, Tate and Tia. This is the next stage in the family鈥檚 journey and follows on from the Bafta Award-winning and critically acclaimed 2017 documentary, Rio Ferdinand: Being Mum And Dad.
