Nicole Richie wants her children to look up to her

Socialite Nicole Richie has said that she is determined that her upcoming stint in jail will change her into a person her unborn child can look up to.

Richie, who recently confirmed she is four months pregnant, was sentenced to four days in jail after pleading guilty to DUI, and she has until 28 September this year to serve her sentence.

But the 25-year-old reality TV star insists she has learned her lesson.

In an interview on U.S. TV's Good Morning America, Richie said, "I owe the baby my life. I owe this baby everything and I have a responsibility now. I'm now responsible for someone else. "I need to set the right example. I would really want to be someone my child would look up to."
