I'd already put on a bit of weight before I got pregnant.

I don't do faddy diets any more. I once did a no-carbs diet a few years ago but it made me depressed. I couldn't be doing with that!

The prima ballerinas who taught me were far more scary than Gordon Ramsay. They'd scream at me and pull my legs and arms, so after them Gordon was a piece of cake.

Ballet is such a disciplined craft and it has given me a good grounding.

My name's Jennifer Ellison and one day I'm going to be famous!

I love performing on stage the most. It's getting that instant reaction from a live audience. There are no boundaries, you can take your character as far as you want to, you can be the craziest person ever.

I want to be the best mum and I want everything to be perfect - I want a fairy tale really.
