1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,920
Now you're a busy girl racing 
around the world into the jungle

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,800
Heart radio. 
But can we talk about the jungle

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,440
for a moment? 
Yeah, we can. 

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,480
I was a bit panicked because 
whenever I said to anybody I was

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,520
doing the jungle, they were 
like, oh, with the shower scene,

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,840
what are you going to wear? 
It, it is almost traumatic if 

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,120
you're coming from that world of
ballet dancing and then suddenly

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,440
your body, it becomes this 
different. 

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,760
Yeah, as occasionally. 
What was your light bulb moment 

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:36,080
between developing the boobs and
the curves to thinking actually 

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,680
this is great. 
I think that took me a long 

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,160
time. 
I think for many years I've 

13
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:44,240
wanted to it not be about my 
looks or my body. 

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,680
And you know, I wanted to be a 
serious actress or a 

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,000
broadcaster. 
I've always kind of fought 

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,200
against it in a way. 
You have this extraordinary 

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,280
confidence. 
Where does that come from, do 

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,960
you think? 
Oh, I don't think so. 

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,160
I think I always suffer a bit of
imposter syndrome in everything 

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,120
I do. 
I think so. 

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,920
I mean, especially when I'm on a
panel like Loose Women and 

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,120
you've got, you know, Jay Moore 
and Janet St. 

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,960
Porter and all these incredible 
journalists. 

24
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:12,600
And they're such, you know, 
brilliant women and they're 

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,760
clever writers and they're so 
informed. 

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,720
And you think, God, am I going 
to make myself look silly? 

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,160
Or do you know, do I belong 
here? 

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,720
I think there's always that 
element. 

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Embraced the 2010 September 
cover of American Playboy. 

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,840
I mean, wow. 
How do you feel about the aging 

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,840
process? 
Today I'm going on a style 

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,720
journey with the English TV and 
radio presenter, actress and 

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,520
model. 
The gorgeous, glamorous and very

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,240
down to earth Kelly Brown. 
Thank you. 

35
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,880
Hello. 
Welcome, Kelly. 

36
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,200
It's very beautiful here. 
Thank you for having me. 

37
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,920
I'm so envious of your 
apartment. 

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,160
This is stunning. 
It's a good view. 

39
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,360
It's a good view. 
It's never the same twice. 

40
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,640
It really it all the time, as we
do as human beings. 

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,720
Yes, we do. 
Which is a good thing. 

42
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,200
Now you're a busy girl racing 
around the world into the 

43
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,320
jungle. 
Heart radio, the list goes on. 

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,400
But can we talk about the jungle
for a moment? 

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,600
Yeah, we can. 
I mean, the clothing in the 

46
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,560
jungle is a uniform. 
It is. 

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,240
Actually that's that's kind of 
the joy of the jungle is that 

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,480
all the things that we worry 
about in day-to-day life, like 

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,280
what we're going to wear and how
we're going to be seen, all goes

50
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,680
out the windows. 
So for kind of three weeks, 

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,120
you're not really thinking about
your appearance. 

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,600
There's no mirrors in the 
jungle. 

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,320
So and everyone's wearing the 
same. 

54
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,920
So it is a little bit like going
back to school where there is a 

55
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,200
uniform and everyone's treated 
the same and everyone looks the 

56
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,840
same. 
But what was really interesting 

57
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,760
about the kind of jungle outfits
that we wore is that everyone 

58
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,320
would customise them to suit 
their own personality. 

59
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,600
Like we would get a bandana and 
whether you wore it as like a 

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,000
headscarf or or a bandana around
your neck as a little kind of 

61
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,160
necktie, it was kind of funny 
how people would like, yeah, 

62
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,200
just kind of kind of like just 
it all up a little bit. 

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,800
But your bikini? 
Yes. 

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Was your choice. 
Yes, I, there was a lot of 

65
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,200
emphasis on this kind of whole 
shower scene in the jungle. 

66
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,480
I know that Mylene Klass made 
this very famous with her white 

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,040
bikini. 
And and I was a bit panicked 

68
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,320
because whenever I said to 
anybody I was doing the jungle, 

69
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,160
they were like, oh, with the 
shower scene, what are you going

70
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,280
to wear? 
And I hadn't really thought 

71
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,040
about it that much. 
And what really kind of struck 

72
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,000
me was the lack of amazing 
swimwear on the market for curvy

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,080
girls. 
There really isn't that much. 

74
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,720
And I found it really hard to 
find anything that I felt really

75
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600
comfortable with because I 
wasn't just laying on a beach. 

76
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,200
You know, I'm in the jungle 
trying to survive. 

77
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,080
I'm going down getting water out
of the out of the stream. 

78
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,520
I'm, I'm cooking over an open 
fire. 

79
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,440
You know, I'm around people I 
don't know that well. 

80
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,760
So it's, you know, that that 
kind of element of wanting to 

81
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,600
feel confident and comfortable, 
but it also having to, you know,

82
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,520
be, I don't know, like 
functionable really. 

83
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,160
So I bought like a bunch of 
different outfits and I had a 

84
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,720
big try on and I found. 
Jeremy, your husband? 

85
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,720
With not with Jeremy, he didn't 
get involved in this. 

86
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040
And and I found that the most 
comfortable ones that I found 

87
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,880
was on next the, you know, the 
retailer next. 

88
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,839
They had some great swimwear and
I just took a bunch of those and

89
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,720
and they worked perfectly. 
But I don't think they've got 

90
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,840
shown as much as I thought they 
would because I think I think 

91
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,240
time's moved on. 
And I think a lot of people used

92
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,480
to watch the jungle for that 
shower scene and to see the 

93
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,720
girls in the bikinis. 
But I think what, what I've kind

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,960
of taken from our jungle 
experience is just how everyone 

95
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,800
got on really well and how such 
a mix of people ended up having 

96
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,480
such nice relationships with one
another. 

97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,560
And actually it was less about 
what we were wearing in the 

98
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,000
shower and more about our kind 
of unlikely friendships that 

99
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,800
were that were formed in there. 
And I thought, that's so 

100
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:55,520
interesting how kind of times 
moved on to maybe when Myleene 

101
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,360
did it back in the day when the 
whole focus was on female, the 

102
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,000
female body. 
It's it's refreshing, isn't it? 

103
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:06,640
You've just done this swimwear 
edit now for next. 

104
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Was that as a result of you 
thinking, what am I going to 

105
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,520
wear for my bikini scene in the 
jungle or how did that come 

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,280
about? 
I mean, if I was to tell you the

107
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:20,280
story, like going way back when 
I was a model, I again in my 

108
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:23,200
early 20s, found it really hard 
to find fashionable swimwear and

109
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,320
lingerie. 
And during that time I was 

110
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,920
hosting a show called Love 
Island. 

111
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:30,640
And when we were putting 
together the the outfits for 

112
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,760
that show, it was a brand new 
show. 

113
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,960
No one knew what Love Island 
was. 

114
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,800
It was like the first series. 
I found that going to vintage 

115
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,600
stores, I would find that all 
the 1950s and 60s clothes were 

116
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,920
fitting me perfectly. 
And a lot of the outfits that I 

117
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,240
was wearing with like Jean 
shorts or like little skirts 

118
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,720
were all 50s. 
And they were like kind of 

119
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,440
structured and they were had 
corseting and they really 

120
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,440
supported me. 
And I loved the style. 

121
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,040
And I remember meeting with some
designers and saying, look, 

122
00:05:58,280 --> 00:05:59,760
think we should create something
here. 

123
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,720
Like, I think we could do like a
swimwear line, maybe for the 

124
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,400
High Street, you know, maybe 
have a little play around with 

125
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,160
some designs, watch the show, 
see what I'm wearing and what 

126
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,800
I've sourced as my wardrobe for 
being the host of Love Island. 

127
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,440
So you were. 
Sourcing your own wardrobe. 

128
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,880
For that, yeah. 
My God. 

129
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,480
Times have changed, haven't. 
They Yeah, yeah. 

130
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,440
So I was going to, I mean, I was
going to all different like 

131
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,280
vintage shops and I was 
travelling between here and LA a

132
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:27,480
lot and there was lots of great 
vintage shops in LA as well that

133
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,240
I was like, and things from. 
And, and we ended up putting 

134
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,400
together this like incredible 
wardrobe of like vintage jewelry

135
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,160
and you know, gorgeous, just 
gorgeous outfits. 

136
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Really. 
The designers were watching the 

137
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,720
show. 
When I came back, we kind of sat

138
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,080
down and they'd created this 
beautiful range of swimwear and 

139
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,880
we actually pitched it to some 
High Street shops. 

140
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,480
And at the time, New Look were 
kind of looking for something 

141
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,320
and there wasn't really a lot of
kind of celebrity fashion 

142
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,760
collaborations at that time. 
And they hopped on board and 

143
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,400
they produced a very small 
capsule collection that we 

144
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,760
launched, I think it was back in
2004 or five, and it sold out. 

145
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,880
And then from that moment on, 
you know, for seven years, I was

146
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,240
kind of designing swimwear and 
lingerie for curvy girls, and it

147
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,280
was really, really successful. 
And then I think with like some 

148
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,680
of these things, you know, you 
just kind of fall out of love 

149
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,040
with that whole process or, you 
know, life moves on and you want

150
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,040
to do other things. 
And, and I just stopped doing 

151
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,160
it. 
And then I think revisiting in 

152
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,040
it now like at 46 and seeing 
that nothing's really replaced 

153
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,080
it, Like there's no, there's 
nobody out there that's really 

154
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,560
representing curvy women in that
marketplace. 

155
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,520
I thought, you know, maybe this 
is a great time to revisit and 

156
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,040
so trying on all the all the 
kind of swimwear from next, I 

157
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,640
kind of thought, God, this is 
similar to what I used to design

158
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,520
back in the day. 
Maybe I should revisit this and 

159
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,680
maybe collaborate with them and 
and do this again. 

160
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,240
Because if I'm finding it hard 
to find lingerie and swimwear, 

161
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,800
I'm sure other women my shape 
and size are as well. 

162
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,720
So that's kind of a rough story 
and evolution of where I'm at 

163
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,360
now with it. 
So is it an edit or are these 

164
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,000
specifically specific pieces 
that you've designed? 

165
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,160
This is an edit, so I didn't 
design these pieces. 

166
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,360
I would love to design some 
pieces because I've got some 

167
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,800
great ideas of how I would like 
it to go. 

168
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,080
But at the moment it's an edit 
because obviously I'm just fresh

169
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,600
out the jungle. 
You know, I kind of contacted 

170
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,920
next and said, you know, I love 
your product. 

171
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,880
I, you know, I've worn it, it 
works. 

172
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,640
You know, is there a way that I 
can kind of be involved in this?

173
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,400
And, and luckily enough, they 
said yes. 

174
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,200
So it's a, it's in the early 
these stages, let's say. 

175
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:45,640
This episode is supported by 
Renu and Me, the next generation

176
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,080
teledermatology brand from the 
makers of Skin and Me. 

177
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600
If your skin feels like it's 
changed overnight, you're not 

178
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,080
alone. 
What used to work suddenly 

179
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,560
doesn't, and new concerns like 
fine lines, dark spots, or 

180
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:02,960
breakouts appear. 
Our skin evolves and our 

181
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,720
routines should too. 
Renew and Me creates 

182
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,400

personalized treatments that 

183
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,840
adapt monthly to your skin's 
needs. 

184
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,240
Their advanced retinoid works 20
times harder than High Street 

185
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:22,720
retinols to accelerate cellular 
renewal, smooth fine lines, even

186
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,880
skin tone and boost collagen, 
all precisely dosed in a 

187
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,960
dermatologist approved formula.

188
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,440

189
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,320
protecting your skin barrier.

194
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,200
So we've got this lingerie 
collection launching with Next 

195
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,960
Yes on the 4th of Feb. 
Yes, and then swimwear will 

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,440
follow end of February. 
So February is going to be very 

197
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,240
exciting. 
All the swimwear and all the 

198
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,040
lingerie will be up sale. 
So watch this space. 

199
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,000
Absolutely. 
And and I read that you are in 

200
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,160
the process of creating your 
Italian brand. 

201
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,960
Yes, yeah. 
This is the really well, this is

202
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,320
really kind of, you know, we've 
started this from like, you 

203
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,840
know, grassroots. 
This is Jeremies family have 

204
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,080
farmed olive oil for 600 years 
in Italy. 

205
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,400
So generation after generation 
they have a factory there, a 

206
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,760
beautiful farm. 
So the family all have different

207
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,400
kind of houses on the farm, 
people that live there. 

208
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,080
Obviously the houses are nice. 
Our house is a little bit run 

209
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,880
down that's very rustic, needs a
bit of work, but but we go like 

210
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,800
a few times a year and you can 
see that Jeremy's generation are

211
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,240
not going to be olive oil 
farmers. 

212
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,600
They all want to kind of all the
kids want to move out. 

213
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,560
They all want to live in the 
cities. 

214
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,880
They're not going to be there 
cultivating olives. 

215
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,280
And you do wonder like what's 
going to happen to this farm and

216
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,600
to you? 
Well, and I've I'm in love with 

217
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,640
it, but obviously to them, 
they've just grown up with it. 

218
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,160
So they don't see the beauty 
like I see it and just how 

219
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,760
authentic and real and unusual 
this whole setup is for me being

220
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,280
English going there, I just, 
it's like a fairy tale and, and 

221
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,360
I just think I fell in love with
the story. 

222
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,000
And, you know, I think being a 
storyteller, being a 

223
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,720
broadcaster, being an actress 
over the years, you know, I do 

224
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,760
romanticize things because 
obviously being a farmer is not 

225
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,920
romantic at all. 
It's hard work, really hard, but

226
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,040
we kind of have kind of 
romanticized it. 

227
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,600
And I think the DNA of the the 
history of the farm is within 

228
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,800
our brand. 
But we're starting with homeware

229
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,120
and we're developing fragrance. 
We've got a preview this weekend

230
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,400
and we're going to be showing 
product for the first time. 

231
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,600
And we're really proud of it. 
You know, we've got beautiful 

232
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,720
tablescapes. 
Go back to food. 

233
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,840
It all starts with family being 
together around a table and 

234
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,200
eating together. 
So of course we had to start 

235
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,040
with plates and table runners 
and tablecloths and things like 

236
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,640
that. 
And anyone listening to this, 

237
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,720
where can they go to have a look
at it? 

238
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,040
Well, hopefully it will be 
everywhere, you know, Hopefully 

239
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,520
it'll be available to everybody.
You know, we want to make sure 

240
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,160
that it's accessible. 
If you think of Italian brands, 

241
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,520
you think of luxury brands which
are not that accessible to many 

242
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,200
people. 
And I think, you know, we just 

243
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,880
want to make it affordable. 
We want to make it, you know, 

244
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,360
for everybody, really. 
And it will be direct to 

245
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,000
consumer. 
At the moment we're going to be 

246
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,520
partnering up with different 
retailers. 

247
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,760
I think so. 
Now today we're on going on a 

248
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,680
style journey together, your 
style journey. 

249
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,520
So let's start by you telling me
what you're wearing. 

250
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,240
Oh, this dress is from me and M 
I love me and him. 

251
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,880
It's a lovely brand. 
I think it's really wearable. 

252
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,320
After the podcast today, I'll be
going to Heart Radio to do my 

253
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,880
radio show. 
So I'm always very aware of kind

254
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,600
of not being too dressed up, but
I always want to be kind of 

255
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,760
formal when I'm, when I'm 
hosting. 

256
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,960
We interview different kinds of 
people and it's an office 

257
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,480
corporate environment. 
So I'm always quite aware of 

258
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,040
that. 
So, yeah, so, you know, I just 

259
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,280
like the pattern. 
I think I've got this in the 

260
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,840
sale actually. 
Good girl. 

261
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,120
Yeah, and the boot. 
These I actually pinched off a 

262
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,720
job. 
I actually don't know where 

263
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,960
these are from. 
This is a very stylist Jennifer 

264
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,880
great. 
She she's brilliant. 

265
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,880
Yeah, she's fantastic. 
She she styles like Catherine 

266
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,840
Ryan and like like some really 
stylish and she's been on your 

267
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,920
podcast. 
Catherine hasn't. 

268
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,960
She she has, yes. 
So yeah, I pinched these off of 

269
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,560
a job that she did for me before
Christmas, so she let me have 

270
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:46,040
them. 
I know that's the great thing 

271
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,320
about doing shoots. 
I've always kind of got my eye 

272
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,480
out on things. 
I think where are they going to 

273
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,360
end up? 
Hopefully in my wardrobe home 

274
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,360
with. 
Me now You grew up in Kent, yes?

275
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,120
Were you very aware of your 
parents style? 

276
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,520
Well, my dad was a scaffolder, 
so not so much. 

277
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,320
Yeah, not really. 
My mum is a tomboy, so I never 

278
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,360
remember my mother like having 
manicures or facials or massages

279
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,960
or anything like that. 
You know, I come from a very, a 

280
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,360
very working class family, so 
there wasn't a lot of emphasis 

281
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,960
on clothes and style and beauty 
and appearance and things like 

282
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,000
that. 
Coming back to growing up, what 

283
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,760
what was your earliest memory of
putting Bring something on that 

284
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,080
just made you feel that little 
bit taller, more grown up, more 

285
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,520
at home in your clothes? 
Well, I would say going back to 

286
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,760
my grandma, she was the one that
had, you know, all the kind of 

287
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,520
amazing, you know, clothes in 
her wardrobe, like amazing coats

288
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,040
and jewellery and things like 
that. 

289
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,600
So I always felt like my grandma
was the glamorous 1, whereas my 

290
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,880
mother was more kind of a tomboy
and not so much into clothes and

291
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,240
fashion. 
And so I would always stay with 

292
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,800
my grandma at weekends and she 
would let me put make up on and 

293
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,520
dress up. 
And so during the 80s, I was 

294
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,360
obsessed with Madonna. 
So I would have like the side 

295
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,920
ponytail. 
I had a really bad perm, black 

296
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:15,000
eyeliner, like tights, loads of 
crosses and crucifixes, like 

297
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,200
very 80s, you know, the lace 
gloves. 

298
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,280
So that was kind of as a child, 
like when I first remember 

299
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,440
playing around with like, you 
know, my looks and, and what I 

300
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,400
love. 
So that kind of whole pop rock 

301
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,120
kind of era was what I loved. 
And do you think there's 

302
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,520
something in you that still 
reaches back to that glam rock 

303
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,400
era? 
I think once my body started 

304
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,920
developing and I started to 
become, I mean, I wanted, I 

305
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,840
wanted to be a ballet dancer. 
I would, Can you imagine not 

306
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,320
with these boots, It's never 
going to happen. 

307
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,080
So I think the things that I 
wanted to do as a kid, I think 

308
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,760
once my body started just 
becoming what it is now, I it 

309
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680
just all my dreams and 
aspirations went out the window 

310
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,560
and I thought, oh, OK, I guess 
my future is going to be glamour

311
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,800
modelling. 
How did you handle that at the 

312
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,840
time I? 
Think it was really difficult. 

313
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,720
I think it's really difficult. 
I was at a performing arts 

314
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,120
school in London. 
I was at Italia Conti and I 

315
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,800
remember I'd been there for like
2 years and you know, I was in 

316
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,480
ballet class every day at like, 
you know, 8:00 AM. 

317
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,280
And then with my little fun and,
you know, doing, you know, and, 

318
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,000
and just, I just love dance so 
much. 

319
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,640
And then all of a sudden I hit 
like 12/13 and started 

320
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,320
developing boobs. 
And then you'd, the boys would 

321
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,320
like look through the window be 
watching me in the dance class 

322
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,040
because I have boobs that all 
make fun of me. 

323
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,480
And I was mortified. 
I was so embarrassed of my body 

324
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,400
because it was just developing 
quicker than the other girls. 

325
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,160
And it was just all of a sudden 
I had this like womanly body at 

326
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,080
the age of like 1314. 
And it was just, it was really 

327
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,000
difficult. 
But obviously now I love it but.

328
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,880
It is almost traumatic if you're
coming from that world of ballet

329
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,960
dancing and then suddenly your 
body, it becomes this different.

330
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,960
Yeah. 
Physicality. 

331
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,319
What was your light bulb moment 
between developing the boobs and

332
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:12,760
the curves to thinking actually 
this is great. 

333
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,359
I think that took me a long 
time. 

334
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,480
I think it was my mother really 
that kind of looked at me and 

335
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,319
was like, I think you should be 
a model because my older sister 

336
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,920
Sasha was a model. 
She was a fashion model. 

337
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,280
She was 5 foot 9. 
She had a cropped like kind of 

338
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,560
really short hair, really kind 
of grungy looking, but she had 

339
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,440
an incredible body. 
And my mum would kind of look at

340
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Sasha's life flying around the 
world, you know, working for 

341
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,280
Vogue, you know, she was signed 
with models one and she had this

342
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,320
really amazing, like high 
fashion life. 

343
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,080
And my mum kind of looked at me.
She was like, well, I think you 

344
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,480
could kind of do something like 
that. 

345
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,040
You could be a model, but I just
didn't want to be, I was like, 

346
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,240
no mum, you know, I want to be a
dancer or I want to be an 

347
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,960
actress. 
I might perform in arts school, 

348
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,800
but it was really my mum that 
kind of encouraged me to, to try

349
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,760
modelling and, and she would 
like, you know, take me around 

350
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,080
to agencies and try to get me 
signed up really young. 

351
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320
And she really wanted that life 
for me because my sister just 

352
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,720
had such an incredible life 
being a model. 

353
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,200
So I think it was really kind of
my mum's influence that ended up

354
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,360
making me kind of choose that 
path in the beginning once I 

355
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:20,560
kind of left school. 
But in terms of, you know, me 

356
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
embracing it and coming to terms
with it, I would say now I think

357
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,360
for many years I've wanted to it
not be about my looks or my 

358
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:30,960
body. 
And you know, I wanted to be a 

359
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,320
serious actress or a 
broadcaster. 

360
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,840
I've always kind of fought 
against it in a way and wanted 

361
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,800
to do other things because maybe
I could have just been a model 

362
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,320
and been very successful as a 
model. 

363
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,040
But I always wanted to do a bit 
more and say, you know, there's 

364
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,480
a bit more to me than that. 
You know, I do have a brain and 

365
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,520
I do have other interests and 
other things I want to do and 

366
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,480
something to say. 
So I think it probably, I think 

367
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,240
now when I get asked to do a 
modelling job, I'm delighted. 

368
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,600
I'm like, wow, amazing. 
Like, you know, I really embrace

369
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,480
it much more So because, you 
know, you think it's because 

370
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,720
it's rare now, whereas back then
I guess you're just like, well, 

371
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,040
that's easy to do that. 
I mean, you have this 

372
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,160
extraordinary confidence. 
Where does that come from, do 

373
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,840
you think? 
Oh, I don't think so. 

374
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,000
I think I always suffer a bit of
imposter syndrome in everything 

375
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,040
I do. 
I think so. 

376
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,800
I think so. 
I think that's part of the I 

377
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,920
don't know. 
I think you just, you know, you 

378
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,160
put your lipstick on and, you 
know, you curl your hair and 

379
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,400
you're out the door and you just
put on a face, don't you? 

380
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,400
I think there's a lot of times 
where you think, can I do this? 

381
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,840
And we're actually, I mean, 
especially when I'm on a panel 

382
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,760
like Loose Women and you've got,
you know, Jay Moore and Janet 

383
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,240
St. 
Porter and all these incredible 

384
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,280
journalists and they're such, 
you know, brilliant women and 

385
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,720
they're clever writers and 
they're so informed. 

386
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,520
And you sometimes feel sometimes
like, well, you know, they have 

387
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,440
so much to say and you think, 
God, am I going to make myself 

388
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,440
look silly or, you know, do I 
belong here? 

389
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,600
I think there's there's always 
that element, I think. 

390
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,560
I think it would be strange if 
you didn't feel that sometimes. 

391
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,880
That's that's healthy. 
That's toes to the fire, as I 

392
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,640
call it. 
Yeah, I never think I'm the 

393
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,960
finished article and I always 
think I'm probably the most 

394
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,400
stupid in the room and there's 
more I could learn so and I 

395
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,000
don't mind that, you know? 
And your body confidence, where 

396
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,200
does that come from? 
I would say a lot of it is from 

397
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,480
relationships as well. 
You know, I think if you, you 

398
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,280
know, if you love somebody and 
they love how you look, you 

399
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,680
know, my husband loves my body. 
He loves my curves. 

400
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,800
He's never made me feel. 
We've been together 11 years. 

401
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,960
He's, he's never made me feel 
insecure. 

402
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,360
I think when we met, I was maybe
a size 8 to 10 dress and now I'm

403
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:39,480
a, you know, 12 to 14. 
So I've definitely changed. 

404
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,000
But he's never acknowledged that
or noticed that. 

405
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,160
I think he loves it and I think 
that so that that helps. 

406
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,080
But I think, I don't know. 
I think I have to. 

407
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,880
I think I feel a responsibility 
to feel confident. 

408
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000
I do feel that. 
I feel like I'm in the public 

409
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,600
eye and I see women, I won't say
who, but I showed, you know, 

410
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,160
some of my lingerie and swimwear
pictures that I just shot for 

411
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,600
next to some women that I work 
with who are in the public eye. 

412
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,200
And I said, I don't really want 
them heavily retouched. 

413
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,120
I think it's important to see a 
little roll over the OR a little

414
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:20,040
bit of a crease there or 
something. 

415
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,080
And what do you think? 
And they said, oh, you're really

416
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,440
brave. 
I wouldn't be able to do that. 

417
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,720
I'd have to, you know, because 
it's so easy to tweak pictures. 

418
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,360
It's so easy to edit pictures 
and it takes a second and it 

419
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,480
still looks like you, but it's 
not quite you and I really don't

420
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,240
want that. 
I really think it's important to

421
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,480
show who I am now and who what 
my body is and I am scared about

422
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,720
it, but I also think it's 
important to do that. 

423
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,160
I think that's where I think 
that's where we're at and that's

424
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,120
how we move things along. 
I love that. 

425
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,680
So I think it's important. 
But what advice would you have 

426
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,280
to those women who just aren't 
fully comfortable in their body?

427
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,320
Oh, my God, Do we know enough of
them? 

428
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,160
Yeah. 
I mean. 

429
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,160
I don't think I have advice. 
I think, I think by putting out 

430
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,640
pictures of real bodies and and 
having real women's bodies 

431
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,120
represented in campaigns and in 
fashion and on the catwalk and 

432
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:14,960
on magazines, women of all 
shapes and sizes and of all 

433
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,080
ages. 
I think that's how we move it 

434
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,840
along. 
I don't think you can give women

435
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,440
advice. 
I think they're not seeing it 

436
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,520
and that's why they feel 
insecure, because they don't 

437
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,360
feel represented. 
And I think that's how we're 

438
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:28,640
doing it. 
So that's why I want to be 

439
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,960
Alondra's swimmer model at 46, 
that's a size 4, you know, 14, 

440
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:36,560
because I don't see it anywhere.
So maybe if they see it, they 

441
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,360
won't feel so insecure because 
they'll realise that they're 

442
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:42,240
normal. 
That's really beautiful and 

443
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,160
really generous and I love that.
I think it's to be applauded, I 

444
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,400
really do. 
Would you say you've got a style

445
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,720
icon? 
I think it's more the lifestyle 

446
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,000
really, that I aspire to. 
Brigitte Bardeau, who? 

447
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,920
You remind me. 
Of she's Oh, you are. 

448
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,560
Is that Bridget there? 
The Terry? 

449
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,200
Yeah, Yeah, it's the Terry. 
Raquel Welch. 

450
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,440
You know, everyone that Terry 
O'Neill photographs. 

451
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,360
So Raquel Welch, Brigitte 
Bardeau, all those women. 

452
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:13,080
I mean, I love those, that 70s 
bohemian kind of Sancha Pay kind

453
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,000
of vibes. 
But I also love, you know, 

454
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,600
Sophia Loren, Claudia 
Cardinelli. 

455
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,160
I love the 50s. 
Gina Lola Brigitta, I see, I see

456
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,640
you. 
I see you in a Dolce campaign. 

457
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:24,960
I just. 
Love it. 

458
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,440
Well, Maya Jammer in the new in 
the Dolce campaign. 

459
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,520
Like she's got such a beautiful 
body. 

460
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,560
She's such a beautiful woman. 
Like I just love that whole. 

461
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,560
But I think it's the essence of 
it and the lifestyle that I'm 

462
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,600
drawn to. 
It's not just the, the, you 

463
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,920
know, the physical beauty, it's 
just everything they embody. 

464
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,200
I just love it. 
It's the storytelling it. 

465
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,440
Is. 
I think so. 

466
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,960
I think it remember. 
You as you as the producer. 

467
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,280
Absolutely. 
Yeah. 

468
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,480
I love it. 
I love that. 

469
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,200
Do you think about the stories 
that your outfits will tell when

470
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,800
you put them on? 
Are you conscious of who you're 

471
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,200
dressing for? 
I don't think you are in the 

472
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,720
moment. 
I think in hindsight you look 

473
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,560
back and you think, oh, that was
a real moment. 

474
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,040
I think if I look back over my 
career to some maybe red carpet 

475
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:11,840
moments, I remember when I put 
on like this kind of pink kind 

476
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,000
of bias cut Julia McDonald dress
for the premiere of Snatch in 

477
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,600
London. 
And it was, you know, a real 

478
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,000
kind of moment in time when 
there was a lot of focus on, you

479
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,080
know, those guys and what films 
they were making. 

480
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,400
And that whole kind of, it 
wasn't like a kind of, I mean, 

481
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,200
it didn't really have, I mean, 
it had stripper vibes, but it 

482
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,320
wasn't it was, it was like 
stripper couture. 

483
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,800
Do you know what I mean? 
Because it was it was, yeah, it 

484
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,480
was very much, you know, cut up 
the bomb and, you know, you're 

485
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,840
kind of revealing everything. 
And it was a real moment. 

486
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,600
But I think it was off the back 
of Liz Hurley wearing those kind

487
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,960
of safety pin Versace dresses. 
So I think at the time I was 

488
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,960
experimenting a lot with that 
kind of, you know, being just 

489
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,600
really confident and, you know, 
showing a lot of skin. 

490
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,920
And I think that was very 
timely. 

491
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,400
So when I look back, I think 
that kind of tells us the story 

492
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,880
of that time because I don't 
think you'd see that on the red 

493
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,000
carpet now. 
So it's really hard to know in 

494
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,520
the moment that you're creating 
a moment because you're in the 

495
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,320
moment. 
Does that make sense? 

496
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,840
That makes sense. 
I mean, I, I, I know that you've

497
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,920
talked about your, your sort of 
style journey. 

498
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,600
It's sort of almost chapters you
just run me through. 

499
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:27,560
Teenage Kelly was who? 
I mean the street trav like 

500
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:33,160
gold, gold hoops, scrunchies, 
track suits, like I was very 

501
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,840
like juicy kind of well, that 
was a bit late. 

502
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,320
I was definitely a juicy kind of
Ugg boot girl. 

503
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,480
When I moved to LA. 
That was very much that 

504
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,240
lifestyle kind of running 
around, you know, getting, you 

505
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,440
know, at Fred Siegel's very much
T-shirt culture. 

506
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,280
But I think as a teenager, very 
kind of St. girl council kind of

507
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,280
estate like style. 
And then it kind of moved into a

508
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,360
little bit of an element of that
kind of St. wear, but a bit more

509
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:00,760
elevated because it was more 
expensive, obviously in Ugg boot

510
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,000
and a juicy tracksuit was, you 
know, a bit more expensive, but 

511
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,120
definitely lending. 
And then I think when I went 

512
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:09,960
into my Love Island era, that's 
when I started getting into the 

513
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,040
more period corseted 50s. 
And I remember Julia MacDonald 

514
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,360
saying this suits you like when 
I started turning up to 

515
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:20,840
premieres in vintage dresses. 
And it was really, but then 

516
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,960
that's when I met Billy Zane, 
who was an actor and he was a 

517
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,720
bit older than me. 
And he would introduce me to a 

518
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,840
lot of movies that hadn't seen. 
And he would kind of say to me, 

519
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,400
you really look like these 
actresses back from this time. 

520
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,920
And so he really helped me. 
I was kind of his muse for like 

521
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,480
a few years. 
And he would really help with my

522
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,480
style. 
And, you know, I remember him 

523
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,320
kind of like throwing out all my
juicy track suits going, you 

524
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,440
can't be wearing this anymore. 
You need to put some like 

525
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,000
something nicer on. 
And I was kind of upset and all 

526
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,040
my friends were like, Oh my God,
he's really controlling. 

527
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,840
But actually I'm, I appreciated 
it because it was time that I 

528
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,520
kind of moved on. 
So he was really, he kind of 

529
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,720
really helped in terms of all of
that, I think. 

530
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,320
And was there any stylist in 
particular that you had worked 

531
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,240
with during through the years 
that that you felt was sort of 

532
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,120
really helped evolve you or 
would that have been Julian, for

533
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:13,600
example? 
Not a designer, Marcella 

534
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,680
Martinelli, who's Italian. 
I mean, she worked with me when 

535
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,200
I was, you know, modelling 
lingerie for the Daily Star 

536
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,600
newspaper right up until I was 
hosting TV shows in my 30s on 

537
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,360
ITV. 
And I was wearing a lot of kind 

538
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:30,040
of Herve Leisure and Balmain 
and, you know, and, you know, 

539
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,480
also very sexy figure hugging. 
But what I love about Marcella 

540
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,720
is she never shield away from, 
you know, dressing my body. 

541
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,160
You know, she didn't. 
A lot of stylists I've worked 

542
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,480
with I've really struggled with 
over the years because I do 

543
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,760
think there's that element of 
curvy women not really being 

544
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,280
represented in fashion that 
much. 

545
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,120
And for that reason, you don't 
really find clothes that really 

546
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:53,840
kind of suit your body. 
And I think Marcella always kind

547
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,280
of found things that really 
suited my body. 

548
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,840
And so I work with her quite a 
lot. 

549
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,320
But yeah, it's been really hard 
actually to to find my person. 

550
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,720
I feel like it's taken me a 
while to really figure out what 

551
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,840
my own style is. 
And I think it has definitely 

552
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,120
changed and evolved with 
whatever I'm doing in the 

553
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,520
moment. 
So I've definitely changed a lot

554
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,520
as the decades have gone on. 
Have you found it hard to on the

555
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,000
on the fit front? 
Because obviously you've got 

556
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,520
this tiny little waist and 
you've got curves, and a lot of 

557
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,960
designers do not cut for real 
women. 

558
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,880
Yeah, did. 
Yeah, did. 

559
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,440
Did you experience that or have 
you experienced that? 

560
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,240
Yes, I mean, I think that the 
designers that I would lean 

561
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,440
towards would be Alexander 
McQueen, I thought was great. 

562
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,440
I mean, I think he designed some
incredible, incredible clothes 

563
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,360
that used to fit me really well.
Roland Murray was fantastic. 

564
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,600
There was a time where there 
were that kind of style of a bit

565
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,920
more structured and and, you 
know, things that would kind of 

566
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,240
nip you in at the waist. 
Vivian Westford, for example, 

567
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,600
was great. 
So I would look towards those 

568
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,840
designers that did, you know, 
kind of acknowledge a waste and 

569
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,560
a curve. 
There wasn't many of them, but 

570
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,760
there were a few. 
And I definitely think mosquito,

571
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,720
for example. 
So maybe, yeah. 

572
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,760
So there are a few. 
Scrolling back to your modelling

573
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,040
that your early modelling days, 
your Page 3 modelling days, how 

574
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,320
were you dressing then on the 
way to a shoot where you would 

575
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,480
be taking off most of your 
clothes, if not all of them. 

576
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,080
I was so interested because I 
think when I was glamour 

577
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,920
modelling, I was still kind of a
bit of a kind of young geeky 

578
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,120
teenage girl. 
So even though I had this body, 

579
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,440
I think it, it didn't represent 
my soul and who I was. 

580
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,120
I was still a bit kind of 
preppy. 

581
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,160
And I remember turning up with 
like little glasses on and hair 

582
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,760
back and, and, you know, not 
glamorous at all. 

583
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,800
I'd sit in the makeup chair and 
then I'd have, you know, the 

584
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,400
hair blow dried and the makeup 
and put some lingerie on. 

585
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,280
And that was, you know, that was
kind of, you know, that was 

586
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,880
that, but it wasn't who I was as
a person. 

587
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,880
So like I said, it took a while 
for the body and the and the 

588
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,720
brain and the soul to all kind 
of connect. 

589
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,960
It was all a bit distracted for 
a while. 

590
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,320
And you it was like a child, 
child face and a porn star body.

591
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,360
It was, it was like that, you 
know, it just took a while for 

592
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,520
it all to kind of fit together. 
And you clearly feel like it's 

593
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,200
all fit together. 
Now I think so. 

594
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,560
Now hopefully. 
Yeah, I think. 

595
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,680
So, I mean, I'm 46 now, I think.
Yeah, now I've just accepted 

596
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,120
this is my body and and I love 
my body and you know, I just, 

597
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,160
yeah, I think it's all kind of 
it all. 

598
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,240
It all comes together in the 
end, doesn't it? 

599
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,560
Totally. 
I mean, so if I asked you to 

600
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,840
describe your style DNA in three
words, oh gosh, 3 words, would 

601
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,200
those be? 
I think confidence, I think 

602
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,360
strong and I think fearless. 
Oh yeah, I. 

603
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,840
Like that? 
Confidence strong and fearless. 

604
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,160
I'd like to think that's my 
style. 

605
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:02,840
Really, really inspiring. 
Now, you won FH MS-100 Sexiest 

606

Women in the World title in 
2005.

I mean, that's 21. 
Years. 

608
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,080
I remind everyone at work about 
that and they always tell me 

609
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:15,080
it's 21 years ago, get over it. 
Grazia's best British female 

610

body in 2006, You graced the 
2010 September cover of American

Playboy. 
I mean, wow. 

612
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,160
How do you feel about the aging 
process? 

613
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,080
In our industry, it's, I mean, 
we were talking about this 

614
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,400
yesterday. 
I mean, people think we're going

615
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,520
to probably live to 150 at some 
point. 

616
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,360
It's just, it's just, yeah, if 
you want to, it's kind of 

617
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,480
extraordinary when you think, 
when I think about I look now at

618
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,960
46 to how maybe my grandma 
looked at 46, it's so different.

619
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,440
So I think, yeah, I just think 
there's so many things now that,

620
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,240
you know, I think we're obsessed
with youth. 

621
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,080
I think we're obsessed with 
looking young. 

622
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,440
I'm I'm comfortable with the 
ageing process as long as I'm 

623
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,360
all about quality over quantity.
So as long as I feel good and I 

624
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,160
can do what I want to do and be 
healthy and, and I'm still 

625
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,760
loving life, then I'm happy. 
I'm happy to get older, but I 

626
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,000
definitely feel happier as I get
older for sure. 

627
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,080
I think every decade I 
definitely feel more just 

628
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,200
happier with how things are and 
I don't get stressed about 

629
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,680
things that aren't working out 
on. 

630
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,000
I don't, you know, just 
everything. 

631
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,840
I just take everything in my 
stride now. 

632
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,480
Whereas I used to get 
overwhelmed and it was a big 

633
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,480
deal. 
Everything was a big deal. 

634
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,320
And now it's just, yeah, duck, 
you know, water off a duck's 

635
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:36,800
back. 
I don't. 

636
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,960
I don't care as much. 
And that gets better. 

637
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,760
Yeah, Oh, it does it. 
Really does. 

638
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,760
Really does. 
Where are you at on tweakments? 

639
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:50,440
I don't do a lot I'm I'm not 
really into invasive treatment. 

640
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,320
So I think there's a lot you can
do now. 

641
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,160
Things like M face sculpting, 
which is, you know, just kind 

642
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,840
of, I don't even know what it 
does, but just kind of like 

643
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,840
toning and moisturizing 
hydration. 

644
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,360
You know, I love having my 
eyebrows done. 

645
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,120
I love, you know, having some 
colour put through my hair, but 

646
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,920
I don't cover up greys or 
anything. 

647
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,080
God, you are a poster child. 
Yeah, I just try to be, but I 

648
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,280
just don't. 
I'm not. 

649
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,960
I don't really have any. 
I've never had any surgery or 

650
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,720
anything like that. 
I've had a bit of Botox here, 

651
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,760
but that's only because I frown 
a lot when people are talking to

652
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,520
me and they think that I'm not 
liking what they say. 

653
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,080
So I kind of relax that. 
So a little bit of a little bit 

654
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,920
of Botox around this area and 
that's about it really. 

655
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,320
Nothing else. 
Anything you recommend? 

656
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,320
My God, I yeah, facelift. 
I don't know. 

657
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Yeah. 
I mean, they say just one 

658
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,360
facelift is probably all you 
need if if that's what you want 

659
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,080
like round here, but that's 
about it really. 

660
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,840
And I look in the mirror and 
then I check. 

661
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,640
You look fantastic. 
No, no, no. 

662
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,280
You look great. 
Not about me. 

663
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,520
You have a famously tight 
marriage. 

664
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,120
Does your husband Jeremy have 
strong opinions on what you 

665
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,200
wear? 
He doesn't, he doesn't. 

666
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,719
I have strong opinions on what 
he wears, which I try and rein 

667
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,560
in. 
No, I mean he is Italian so he 

668
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,040
does like to look nice and he's 
got some lovely clothes, so. 

669
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,280
What does he love to see you in?
What's date night? 

670
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,719
Kelly wearing date night. 
Kelly is, I would say just 

671
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,760
probably or just a really 
elegant dress and a heel. 

672
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,440
You know, we live in town, so 
we're not. 

673
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,280
We don't really dress up, dress 
up. 

674
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,440
I feel like we don't feel the 
need to and we and when we go 

675
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:39,880
out it's usually to the local 
pub. 

676
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,760
So we don't do a lot of bougie 
restaurants and things like 

677
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,600
that. 
We're quite low key. 

678
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:48,120
We're not kind of, I look at 
David and Victoria Beckham on 

679
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,520
their nights out, on their date 
nights and they are like, it's 

680
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,920
like they're going to a red 
carpet. 

681
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,440
Like I'm not that, you know, 
we'll go because we take the dog

682
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,680
everywhere. 
So if we go out for dinner, it's

683
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,880
usually the pub. 
The best, the best way. 

684
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,600
So I will dress up a bit, but 
not, you know, we don't really 

685
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,280
do a lot of date nights. 
We should do more, actually. 

686
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,440
That's actually made me think 
we'd actually don't get dressed 

687
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,000
up enough for each other. 
That's terrible, isn't it? 

688
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,040
That's what 11 years and the 
dorm marriage do. 

689
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:15,960
Yeah. 
Tell me about your wedding 

690
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,280
dress. 
There's a local dressmaker where

691
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,600
I live who's fantastic. 
She does a lot of alterations 

692
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,440
for me for things. 
And I called her and I said, 

693
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,760
look, I, I want to design my own
wedding dress. 

694
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,680
So she took me to this 
beautiful, I think it's called 

695
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,520
Joel and Sons. 
Do you know this place? 

696
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,760
OK, so we went to Joel and sons.
So we started experimenting with

697
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,680
like lots of like Italian lace 
and we made a few kind of like, 

698
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,280
we made like a lovely little 
kind of shirt dress with a 

699
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,400
beautiful lace kind of sleeves. 
And So what I was making like 

700
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,920
different things, not really 
knowing what I wanted to wear 

701
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,240
because I thought it was going 
to be a really small wedding. 

702
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:54,840
It was supposed to be a small 
wedding. 

703
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,800
But my husband being Italian, it
kind of, it just got a little 

704
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,440
bit out of hand. 
And so instead of just being 

705
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,440
like 15 of us, it turned out to 
be like 100 people. 

706
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,920
And it was a big Italian wedding
and it all in Italy, in Italy. 

707
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,640
And it all got a bit much and I 
realised I needed a proper 

708
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,480
Italian wedding dress that 
obviously I don't have the 

709
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,600
experience to design anything 
like that. 

710
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,640
I'm really good friends with 
Savannah Miller and she 

711
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,360
contacted me. 
She said I would love to make 

712
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,440
your wedding dress and she and 
her team made my beautiful 

713
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,120
wedding dress so. 
Yeah, so describe it. 

714
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,920
So it was corseted, it had lots 
of like beautiful kind of 

715
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,720
ruffles here, beautiful veil. 
It had lots of Italian lace, 

716
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:40,800
really delicate lace around. 
It was high cut here, so lace 

717
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,880
around the chest. 
It kind of was inspired, I 

718
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,320
think, by Sophia Loren's wedding
dress that she wore in a movie 

719
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,040
that I'd seen, and a bit kind of
Grace Kelly as well when she got

720
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,040
married in Monaco. 
So it kind of had that very 

721
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,760
classic, timeless feel to it, 
but it was very heavy. 

722
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,400
And obviously Italy is very hot,
so I just do remember it being 

723
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,920
quite heavy in me, just sweating
a lot. 

724
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,880
So I wore it for the ceremony 
and then I changed into some of 

725
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,760
the other dresses that I 
designed. 

726
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,080
OK, so then what? 
I had, yeah. 

727
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,200
So I had like three other 
changes. 

728
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,480
So I went for this kind of 
little kind of blazer which had 

729
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:26,040
a shorter veil for the party the
night before the welcome dinner.

730
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,760
I had like some white trousers 
which had, I can't remember that

731
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,680
I had like a kind of, I think it
had like a kind of veil on the 

732
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,000
back that was attached. 
I can't remember. 

733
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,920
Lots of different changes. 
It was when you get, when you 

734
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,040
get married aboard, it's like, 
it's not one day, is it? 

735
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,320
It's just like multiple changes 
multiple. 

736
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,000
Events. 
Yeah, it was fun though. 

737
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,800
I just remember experimenting a 
lot and having a lot of fun with

738
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,240
it, but my wedding was quite 
traumatic. 

739
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:52,280
I don't know if have you been 
married. 

740
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,680
Yes, twice. 
Yeah. 

741
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:54,520
Oh, my God. 
You did it. 

742
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,800
I could only. 
I could do it again. 

743
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,120
I found it so stressful, the 
whole thing. 

744
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,920
I don't even remember. 
I don't even remember what I 

745
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,600
ate. 
Everyone says, Oh my God, the 

746
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,960
desserts at your wedding were 
unbel. 

747
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,560
I don't even remember. 
It was such a blur. 

748
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,520
I found it quite overwhelming, 
getting married. 

749
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,280
Did you? 
Yeah, the whole thing, even 

750
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,760
talking about it now, it's 
making me hot. 

751
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,000
It was a lot. 
I don't ever want to do anything

752
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,040
like that again. 
Have you ever been a bridesmaid?

753
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,200
I have when I was a kid, yeah, 
that was much better to be a 

754
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,000
bridesmaid, not the bride. 
No. 

755
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,240
No traumatic bridesmaids 
dresses. 

756
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:25,520
No. 
Not at all. 

757
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,360
What do you think is the most 
important event that you've ever

758
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,480
had to dress for? 
I think my wedding definitely my

759
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,400
wedding. 
You know, we were talking about 

760
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,640
red carpets earlier. 
How do you go about choosing 

761
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,120
your red carpet look? 
Well, it all depends on the time

762
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,320
of year, obviously. 
Yeah, I think a lot of red 

763
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,880
carpets, unfortunately, in the 
UK. 

764
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,560
Oh, wet, wet red carpets. 
Yeah. 

765
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,640
I mean, I love Ala red carpet 
because it's always sunny and 

766
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,240
you feel fabulous. 
But it all depends, you know? 

767
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:58,120
It depends, you know, if I'm at 
the Cannes Film Festival, for 

768
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,640
example, depends what designers 
are there and who's showing and 

769
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,360
you know, who's willing to dress
me. 

770
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,960
Really. 
I mean, it is about that. 

771
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,640
I mean, a lot of designers want 
to dress you. 

772
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,480
Some don't. 
It all depends. 

773
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,160
It's not always your choice. 
Do you ever take that personally

774
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,920
when a designer says no, I'm not
dressing you? 

775
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,720
Well, it's just depends on what 
you know, what you're doing and 

776
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:20,680
if if what they want, how they 
see their brand, if it's a line 

777
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,480
in with your brand. 
I mean, it's all about that, 

778
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,040
isn't it? 
Especially with fashion, I 

779
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,320
think, you know, I would 
imagine, I mean, you're a 

780
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,720
fashion designer. 
Was there people that you wanted

781
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:30,240
to dress and people you didn't 
want to dress? 

782
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:33,720
I mean if you dress Princess 
Diana, are you then going to 

783
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:36,680
address the page three girl for 
the for the same red carpet? 

784
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,760
You know, it's it's all 
dependent on sort of where 

785
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,560
you're taking the the brand. 
Yeah, really. 

786
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:48,080
But I I feel like that has all 
all those edges have been 

787
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,440
blurred now. 
I feel it's a different era now.

788
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,520
Yeah, I really do. 
You know, where content creators

789
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,080
are really being taken seriously
by the fashion world? 

790
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,360
Yeah, when they weren't 10 years
ago. 

791
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,200
Do you know who who never is 
never snobby and who loves 

792
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,200
everyone and celebrates everyone
is Philip Tracy. 

793
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,080
I always found him to be so 
lovely. 

794
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,440
I feel like he treated me the 
same that how he treats the 

795
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,800
royal family when he dresses 
them for Ascot. 

796
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,360
That's how he treated me. 
And, you know, I think that says

797
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,320
a lot for their confidence in 
their craft and what they they 

798
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,200
do, that actually their work 
speaks for itself. 

799
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:32,280
And it actually is irrelevant 
who it's sitting on. 

800
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,560
He makes hats for everybody. 
And actually, that's my point. 

801
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,720
I I just think we're, we're in a
different era now. 

802
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,440
Yeah. 
Who are your favorite designers 

803
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,400
of the moment, or brands or High
Street stores? 

804
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,440
Where do you really enjoy going 
into? 

805
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,240
I just think and the French 
brands for me that what I shop 

806
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:55,880
and what I live in day-to-day 
are those kind of mid brands. 

807
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,680
I love the bash, the Sandro, the
Marge, the me and Ember. 

808
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,680
You know, those brands for me 
are great if I'm, if I'm kind of

809
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,200
walking the dog and I'm out and 
about, I love Valley. 

810
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,000
I think that as terms of 
leisure, where I think Valley's 

811
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,920
like fantastic. 
And I always feel a kind of 

812
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,600
smarter version of, you know, 
dog mum or someone that's, you 

813
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,720
know, meeting a friend for 
coffee that's just like run out 

814
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:20,800
the gym. 
I think there's, I think the 

815
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,440
brands, those that really kind 
of capture your lifestyle in 

816
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,120
terms of like luxury brands. 
And with money was absolutely no

817
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,080
object. 
I think Chanel. 

818
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,520
I do think Chanel. 
I just think I just love 

819
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,400
everything they do. 
I love their bags, I love their.

820
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:39,560
I love their shows that they put
on. 

821
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,800
I just think, I just think they 
have that really good kind of 

822
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,880
balance of that kind of French 
chic with that kind of rock 

823
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,440
edge, that rock'n'roll edge. 
It's just cool. 

824
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,520
It never feels mumsy. 
It's just, I just love it. 

825
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,640
I love Chanel. 
Interesting and and handbags. 

826
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,800
Handbag wise I would probably 
always go for either. 

827
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,840
Probably Chanel. 
Probably Chanel or a nice Hermes

828
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,280
Birkin. 
Actually should solve my Birkin 

829
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,640
Not that long ago. 
Did you? 

830
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,640
For about 5 times what I bought 
it for. 

831
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,480
Go away. 
Yeah. 

832
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:18,320
How did you sell it? 
I said I sold it through a, it 

833
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,680
wasn't versatile, but it was 
like a, a company like that. 

834
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:24,400
I mean, it was a beautiful bag, 
but I'd had it and I'd used it 

835
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,120
and I'd enjoyed it and, you 
know. 

836
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:31,400
And now do you still buy Chanel 
bags, designer bags or where? 

837
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,120
Where are you at on the designer
bag front? 

838
00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:38,360
I mean, it's, I do, but I'm very
mindful that I live in London 

839
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,920
and I don't, no, I don't want to
be targeted for my bags because 

840
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,760
people are. 
So I'm very careful about, you 

841
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,760
know, very expensive designer 
things and jewellery and things 

842
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,360
like that. 
I don't really purchase things 

843
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,480
like that anymore and I don't 
really have things like that 

844
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,680
anymore. 
Let's talk about glam. 

845
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,600
Yes, obviously. 
You get hair, makeup, nails, all

846
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,360
the rest of them done for you a 
lot. 

847
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:10,400
Do you do your own at all? 
Sometimes I do, but a lot of the

848
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:15,160
time I have great girls who come
and give me a blow to. 

849
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:19,600
Like today, this is Mel, she 
came and did my hair and makeup 

850
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,320
for you. 
Because sometimes it's nice and 

851
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,560
I feel like it is kind of part 
of it. 

852
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,920
That adds to your confidence, 
you know? 

853
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,040
You know people are going to see
you, so you want to be your best

854
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,160
self. 
And it's not my area of 

855
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,120
expertise doing hair and makeup.
I'm not. 

856
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,560
I'm OK at doing my own, but I'm 
not brilliant at it. 

857
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,520
You know, but so interestingly, 
you're off to heart radio next, 

858
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,520
but you feel the need to dress 
for the event. 

859
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:53,480
Well, radio's very much a male 
dominated culture, so there's a 

860
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,120
lot of men in the office. 
So it is funny because I would 

861
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,840
never go into heart like usually
in a lovely dress and and hair 

862
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,000
and makeup like this. 
So when I go to work today, they

863
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,040
will be like where have you 
been? 

864
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,360
Because I go in usually a little
bit kind of on the down low. 

865
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,080
I wouldn't be like this, but I'd
wear an all right dress. 

866
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,840
But it I'm very much a corporate
kind of I wouldn't. 

867
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,240
I don't go in as like it's funny
actually, because some of the 

868
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:21,240
girls do. 
I know Amanda Holden, she's in 

869
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:23,600
full glam in the morning. 
I don't know how she does it, 

870
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,640
but I don't I get a little bit 
shy. 

871
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,640
I like to be one of the boys, 
but they will, they'll all say 

872
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,200
to me wherever you've been, what
have you been doing? 

873
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,920
You've been on TV today because 
they'll, they noticed the 

874
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,320
difference straight away. 
That's. 

875
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,720
So funny. 
Let's talk about your wardrobe. 

876
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,120
Is it very organized? 
It is actually, I'm really good 

877
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,120
at like kind of, yeah, I don't 
like having a lot of things and 

878
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,760
a lot of choice. 
I get quite overwhelmed. 

879
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,480
So I'm really good at having a 
good clear out and taking things

880
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,320
to charity or reselling things. 
I'm really, really good at that 

881
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:56,880
and I've done that a lot over 
the years. 

882
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,520
And for those important red 
carpet moments, have you, have 

883
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,840
you kept those pieces? 
Are they archived or do they 

884
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,200
just go straight back to the 
design? 

885
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,560
They've all been auctioned. 
I've got everything auctioned. 

886
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,680
I've been, yeah. 
I really feel it's really 

887
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,880
cathartic. 
I, you know, I had a whole 

888
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,560
storage unit that was full of 
vintage pieces, designer pieces,

889
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:19,600
and it was all kind of stored 
really well. 

890
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,080
And it was all in the right 
paper. 

891
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,360
And it was like, you know, as if
it was in a museum and it was 

892
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,160
just kind of sitting in a room. 
And I just thought, you know 

893
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,600
what? 
I let me just kind of get rid of

894
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,280
this now. 
And I feel so much better for 

895
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,840
it. 
I think when I got married, it 

896
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,200
was really a turn in a page. 
And it was really kind of about,

897
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,080
you know, downsizing my life, 
downsizing the clutter and 

898
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,040
letting go of things that no 
longer serve me. 

899
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,200
And a part of that was getting 
rid of a lot of wardrobe. 

900
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,480
And how did you actually 
physically do that? 

901
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,960
Did you do it through an auction
house? 

902
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,440
Auction house yes, Hanson's 
auctioneers, they did a big kind

903
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,680
of sale and. 
And it was the Kelly Brook. 

904
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,160
It was kind of like some of it 
was kind of related to TV shows 

905
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,560
or some of it was things that 
I'd won. 

906
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,760
Like even if it was like, you 
know, I'd been a showgirl at the

907
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,080
Crazy Horse in Paris for a 
minute and I had like some bosti

908
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,720
crystals, like bustiers and 
things like that. 

909
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:12,400
And we, you know, we auctioned 
those and Strictly Come Dancing.

910
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,600
I had outfits from that show 
that I'd done back in the day. 

911
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,840
And, you know, I just, I just 
sold everything. 

912
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,680
It all just went. 
Over the years you've obviously 

913
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,600
had your portrait taken a lot. 
So you've you've had the 

914
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,840
modelling persona, but then you 
you personally have had your 

915
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:33,400
portrait taken a lot as you. 
Are you very controlling about 

916
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,800
that image? 
I, I used to be very, very 

917
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,240
strict about who would take my 
picture and who the glam team 

918
00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:45,280
were and, and everything. 
And, and I think that did serve 

919
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,960
me really well for a moment in 
time when I kind of knew what 

920
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,600
was what. 
I think now I kind of trust 

921
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,600
other people to tell me because 
I'm not, it's not really, I'm 

922
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,080
not a model anymore. 
So I'm not in the game as much 

923
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,960
as what I used to be. 
I work in audio now I'm a radio 

924
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,480
presenter. 
So I'm not having my hair and 

925
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,720
makeup done every day and having
my picture taken every day. 

926
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:09,200
So I definitely a guided a bit 
more. 

927
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,760
But back in the day, like for 
example, when I shot Playboy, I 

928
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,360
was very strict about who was 
going to take that shit. 

929
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,200
Like who was going to photograph
me for Playboy? 

930
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,440
I thought that was very because 
Playboy can be many different 

931
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,960
things to people. 
And I thought I wanted it to be 

932
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,120
more of a fashion moment rather 
than for the male gaze, even 

933
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,920
though it is. 
And so having a female 

934
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,280
photographer like Ellen von 
Onworth shoot me for that was 

935
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,640
really important because she, in
my eyes, has taken pictures of 

936
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,920
some of the most beautiful women
in the world and some of the 

937
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,680
most iconic pictures if you 
think of, you know, Anna Nicole 

938
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,120
Smith in the guest campaign or 
Claudia Schiffer. 

939
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,440
I remember Claudia Schiff has 
showed me some beautiful images 

940
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,360
of her that Ellen had taken in 
San Tropez that had never been 

941
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,000
published. 
And I was. 

942
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,080
I. 
Was at Claudia's house and she 

943
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,880
was like, showing me all these 
kind of outtakes and she'd never

944
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,000
published them because at the 
time I think she had a deal with

945
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Revlon and they were too sexy. 
And she, you know, to keep all 

946
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,320
of her commercial brand deals. 
They felt that it was just too 

947
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,800
sexy. 
But I just remember poring over 

948
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,640
these pictures, thinking, oh, if
Ellen can take my picture one 

949
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,240
day, I would have made it like, 
because, you know, they were 

950
00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:17,640
just the most stunning pictures 
of Claudia. 

951
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,920
And so when Playboy came around,
I was like, if we can get Ellen,

952
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,000
please, can we get Ellen? 
And she did it. 

953
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:26,640
I was so happy. 
And do you have loads of 

954
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,400
pictures of you up at home? 
Oh no, Not one. 

955
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,160
Stop it. 
Not one, no. 

956
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:37,040
I have one photo in my living 
room of Raquel Welch by Terry 

957
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,520
O'Neill on the cross. 
That's that's the only picture. 

958
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,720
No, I don't have any pictures of
myself. 

959
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:45,120
I can think of nothing worse. 
Oh my God. 

960
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,200
I. 
Do have the magazines and 

961
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,280
everything, but they're all in a
storage unit down in Kent near 

962
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:55,320
where my mum lives, locked away.
Maybe I'll look at them one day.

963
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,520
No, once it's done, it's done. 
It's like gone. 

964
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,360
That's. 
Fantastically refreshing. 

965
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,960
Would you say you had a worst 
fashion moment? 

966
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,840
Oh, I've had. 
Several, I think probably 

967
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,800
several red carpet moments. 
Which one sort of really sticks 

968
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,000
in your memory? 
Gosh God, there's one at the 

969
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,720
Evening Standard Awards. 
I've wore this beautiful, like 

970
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,520
this beautiful dress and the 
wind blue and showed my knickers

971
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,040
and they were just the worst 
knickers. 

972
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,520
And I thought, oh God, I'll 
never make that mistake again. 

973
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,560
So sometimes it's not always 
what you wear. 

974
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:26,840
It's what happens on the red 
carpet. 

975
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:27,880
It's what you've got to worry 
about. 

976
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,040
If you've 444 or flash something
you shouldn't, that happens. 

977
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,120
Oh my goodness. 
Let's talk about sustainable 

978
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,160
fashion. 
Yeah. 

979
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,880
What's your approach to it? 
I mean, I'm all for it. 

980
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,320
I mean, I, you know, I 
unfortunately with what I do, 

981
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,080
you know, there's this kind of 
expectation of always having to 

982
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,520
wear a different thing every 
day. 

983
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,320
But I've really found that, you 
know, at Loose Women and ITV, 

984
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,000
you know, we really try and 
resource a lot of the fashion 

985
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,440
and what we wear and they really
encourage you. 

986
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,160
We actually have days where you 
have to wear something you've 

987
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,720
worn before. 
So they really encourage it. 

988
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:05,360
So I'm, you know, we're all 
working together to try and 

989
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,200
encourage that more and, and 
make it the norm to be seen in 

990
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,640
the same dress more than once. 
Because, you know, in our 

991
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,400
industry, it's not really what 
you used to do. 

992
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,160
You'd always have a different 
outfit on every day. 

993
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,480
But that's why I love the radio,
because isn't the focus isn't 

994
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,400
necessarily so much on what 
you're wearing every day. 

995
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,760
So we can repurpose things a bit
more. 

996
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,160
But yeah, I'm more for it. 
I mean, you know, I take stuff 

997
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:30,080
to charity or give things away 
to friends and family and I 

998
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,560
don't buy that much really. 
I really do. 

999
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,240
Not as much as I used. 
To do you get bombarded. 

1000
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,720
I don't want it. 
I don't, I don't ask for 

1001
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:39,800
freebies. 
I really don't want it unless 

1002
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,720
there's boots on a shoe that I 
like and I know I'm going to 

1003
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:45,000
wear, I'll take. 
But I, I don't give PRS my home 

1004
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,240
address. 
I get furious when I get sent 

1005
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:49,320
things. 
I know that's so bizarre, but I 

1006
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,520
just don't. 
I get so overwhelmed being sent 

1007
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:56,160
gifts and that expectation that 
you've got to post or tag or I 

1008
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,880
just don't. 
I'd rather just not have it and 

1009
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:59,080
I just don't want it in my 
house. 

1010
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,040
I just like what I like and I 
don't buy them a lot and I don't

1011
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,800
want to be gifted a lot. 
No, that's fantastically 

1012
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,680
refreshing to hear. 
It really is. 

1013
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,640
Yeah, I see influences and they 
just, I just looks like their 

1014
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,840
house is just full of clothes 
and oh God, I. 

1015
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,640
Think no, I think I. 
Could bear it. 

1016
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:19,800
So overwhelming and and then it 
loses its authenticity and, and 

1017
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,480
all the rest of it. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1018
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,920
So in terms of charity shops, 
where do you do you have a 

1019
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,760
specific one that you love to 
give to? 

1020
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,120
Yes, there's one in Bells Eyes 
Park that that we give to a lot.

1021
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,120
Was actually there two weeks 
ago. 

1022
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,440
It's the Marie Curie Foundation 
just on the corner. 

1023
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,840
They're great in there and they 
know me there because there's 

1024
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,760
been a few times where things 
have gone in the bag that 

1025
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,440
shouldn't have gone in the bag 
and I've had to go and buy it 

1026
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:49,920
back. 
Do you remember that? 

1027
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,000
It's like the worst thing. 
You're like, oh, that, that 

1028
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,560
leather jacket should not have 
gone in and we have to like. 

1029
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,840
Panic. 
Go down and be like, oh, can we 

1030
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,520
just give a little donation to 
get it back? 

1031
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,880
Where Amanda Holden's 
grandmother had taken a whole 

1032
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,520
rail of clothes in to the 
charity shop. 

1033
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:13,000
No, she'd had sort of out ready 
to, you know, to work with, to 

1034
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,560
style to all the rest of it. 
And they all got sent down to 

1035
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:16,520
the charity. 
You should have. 

1036
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,120
To go and get it. 
All I think so it. 

1037
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,280
Happens, yeah. 
Let's spin on to some quick fire

1038
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,040
questions, fashion advice you'd 
give your 20 year old self. 

1039
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,720
I would say go with your own 
instincts and and, you know, 

1040
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,880
don't be told what to wear 
always, you know, kind of go 

1041
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,560
with what you know, because I 
definitely been coerced into 

1042
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:41,040
wearing things that I probably 
shouldn't have done or, or not 

1043
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,960
had the confidence to kind of 
follow my own path. 

1044
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,040
And yeah, just that influence 
really around you. 

1045
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,640
Fashion trend that you'd most 
like to see make a comeback. 

1046
00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:53,720
I mean, I do love a juicy 
tracksuit, but I think they have

1047
00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:56,560
made a comeback. 
I think the 90s has definitely 

1048
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,080
made a huge comeback. 
Fashion or beauty trend that you

1049
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,760
would consign to Room 101. 
The mullet, I think it's more of

1050
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,040
a haircut. 
You. 

1051
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,120
Know just coming back from 
Australia on the Gold Coast, 

1052
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,160
Beautiful men. 
They all had mullet. 

1053
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,080
I just don't. 
They're all in their 20s, like 

1054
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,840
one of our drivers, gorgeous, 
gorgeous young man. 

1055
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,640
And I was like, what is it with 
the hair? 

1056
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,520
He said. 
This is the thing here, everyone

1057
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,440
has mullets there. 
I'm just dreading it coming back

1058
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,280
to London. 
Your last impulse buy? 

1059
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,160
It was Chanel. 
It was. 

1060
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,400
But it was, it was an investment
piece. 

1061
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,120
It was a new wallet. 
I have it somewhere. 

1062
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:39,280
It was a new wallet. 
She justifies it, yeah. 

1063
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,480
And it's not on show, it's 
hidden away. 

1064
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,480
It's in my handbag, but it's a 
really nice wallet from Chanel. 

1065
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,880
Views on tattoos. 
Oh, not for me, not for me. 

1066
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,560
Beauty treatment you couldn't 
give up. 

1067
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,520
And lovely. 
Like face massage. 

1068
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,000
Like facials and face massage? 
High end or High Street? 

1069
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,480
I think high end quality over 
quantity. 

1070
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,640
Bling or bear? 
I do like a bit of a bling. 

1071

If I have skinny jeans, they're 

1085

They have to be wide legs.
