Being a mother is quite tiring. There's not much time to do anything. You just rush around and it's hard work.

I love spring flowers: daffodils and hyacinths are the ultimate flower for me. They are the essence of spring.

Elizabeth I was my favourite monarch though, what an inspiration, she did great things for women.

I am not a fan of Facebook or Twitter. They both allow too much information to be available and they make privacy a thing of the past.

Being busy with work, and as a mum, I'm a big fan of online shopping.

I grew up Windlesham in Surrey, which is a beautiful and quaint village.

I wanted to be a fashion journalist and went to the London College of Fashion to do a journalism and promotion course.
