My mum originally taught me to cook.

I'd forgotten how tiny new babies are.

Just get on with it.' That's a life motto.

I like the traditional way of doing things.

Inclusiveness is about freedom and fairness.

Everyone is just so wonderful at 'Strictly.'

Having a baby is the best thing in the world.

I am so grateful for my boys. They're my entire life.

I gave up ballet when I was four because I was so shy.

I hope I dance with more life than a cleaning implement.

I have long held the ambition of my own TV chef programme.

But the more honest you are, the more people open up in return.

My race was never talked about until I married into this family.

I got called back for 'Game Of Thrones,' and they nearly cast me.

I would love to keep dancing. Doing 'Strictly' has been so wonderful.

My dad's Nigerian and I grew up in London, and that's just how it is.

Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be living in a safari park!

I do believe in fate - I think you have to. It helps make sense of things.

It's exciting to hear lions roaring deeply at 11 P. M. at night. It's mad.

Oh no, I would never presume to give anyone advice, I would not be so bold.

I was made more 'aware of myself,' from the outside in, when I got engaged.

I will forever be grateful for 'Strictly' and put my heart into each routine.

I'm different to how I used to be but then I think having a baby changes everyone.

I really enjoyed being pregnant up until the point when the terrifying pains began.

Do you know what, before 'Strictly,' I've always regretted not training as a dancer.

There is no textbook guide to family life. You just have to try to find a way through it.

When you fall in love and get married you're excited just to be in love and getting married.

There are so many different ways to make your family. I'm just super-grateful to have my children.

While I'm very into fitness, I'm much more used to swinging kettlebells around than my actual body.

Making crumble is one of my favourite things in the world - I add oats, berries, honey and cinnamon.

Pomellato Jewellery makes such timeless pieces. I have a chunky gold bracelet that goes with everything.

If I'm in London I might meet with the fashion brands I work with or be at Vogue, where I'm a contributor.

So many people struggle to have children and it's not unusual to go down a slightly different path if you need to.

I have a real passion for food - I love to cook for my family and friends and relish any opportunity to entertain.

The funny thing about living at Longleat is that there's no 'typical' day, but I usually wake up around 6:45 A. M.

One minute I'm inside this magical glitter bubble, then it's straight back to mum-life. Literally. That is my life!

I auditioned for everything. It was daily, relentless. Independent films, chewing gum commercials, television shows.

My mum was very hands-on - she was a brilliant mother - and I think when I have children I will probably be the same.

Ceawlin is good at both business and the fun side. We laugh at the same old jokes, and the boys get funnier every day.

I did 'Strictly' with my whole heart, my whole soul. I genuinely put everything into it. To be part of it is so amazing.

I absolutely love watching 'Strictly' every weekend and I can't believe that I'm getting the chance to be on this series.

I'm not super-easily offended, but it's a problem when someone's making you feel different or separate because of your race.

I'm a big believer in honesty, and in this Instagram world, it's important to remember that not everyone's lives are perfect.

There has been some snobbishness, particularly among the much older generation. There's class and then there's the racial thing.

I've been lucky that I haven't encountered much adversity growing up in London and having friends from all different backgrounds.

I've always, always wanted to present my own food show - one that includes a little bit of lifestyle, too. That's my ultimate goal.

I have two boys with Nigerian heritage and that's the most important thing but race shouldn't define you. You just have to have a thick skin.

It's unique living in a situation where your house is open to the public and you are part of the attraction - or at least that's what it feels like.

I wouldn't have liked to have gone to boarding school, but for boys it's different. Boys can thrive at boarding school. I assume they really love it.

My race was never an issue in my life until C and I got engaged, after that, no one could stop talking about it. I pray for the day when it becomes less remarkable because race does not define you.
