It’s not often that I find products from the land of my birth so when I found the Africa Organics brand as I was browsing on Love Lula, I was instantly intrigued and of course had to try them. And they are rather special. At the moment the range is quite small consisting of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body …

We cha cha cha’d, we shook our booty, we danced ourselves into a frenzy but……failed to impress the judges! Wayne Sleep was lovely and fair as ever but the others seemed to have it in for my man! They gave him no credit whatever in learning a very fast and furious dance in 4 days! They threw insults at him …

Oh dear oh dear! Our second dance went down like a cup of cold tea! While everyone else shimmied and smouldered, we did Line Dancing with such a huge crowd of backing dancers that you couldn’t even see us!

After 5 weeks of dancing, falling over, sprained limbs, muscle spasms, bruises, physio, icing, frustration, excitement, anticipation and sheer terror, there is nowhere left to hide! It’s dance time! We’ve had a lot of fun with all the other couples. There’s a great sense of camaraderie and whilst a certain amount of competitiveness is …

It’s such a relief to finally be able to talk about my “secret project” which I have known about for months. What has possessed us to partake of a show that requires us to dance together knowing that at least one of us can’t dance at all (guess which one??)? We keep looking at each other and saying “why are …

All Star Mr & Mrs

Last Saturday saw my husband, Michael Brandon, and myself at ITV studios filming All Star Mr & Mrs! We weren’t entirely sure if this was a good idea to be honest. We had a feeling it would end in one extreme or the other. Complete humiliation that after many years of marriage we would have to admit to the nation …
