I must be the only person in 'Strictly' history who's actually put on weight during rehearsals.
-
I've got no interest in football. My brother's a footballer, too, and I was dragged to the freezing pitch every week as a child. I don't see much glamour in it.
-
No one can complain about earning good money, but for me, it's being able to help my family out, put my brother and sister through school, take my family on holiday. That's where I get the biggest buzz, not buying a pair of £500 shoes.
-
I will be up at 8 A.M. making spaghetti bolognese for Peter and Sophia's evening meal if I'm working that day. I may not get back for the evening, and I worry if I don't do that, then they won't eat anything.
-
If I had to study and work hard, it would have to have the reward of a lot of cash.
-
I'm used to doing my jobs like a couple of photo shoots a month and a bit of presenting here and there, but the majority of my days are with the baby.
-
I've always been a bit of a poser. I was chucked out of ballet lessons for looking in the mirror.
-
I love the Kerastase Hair Oils and the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer. They're great for making my hair really soft, but to be honest, any cheap conditioner works. Just leave it on and let it soak in, and it really helps, whatever you use.
-
I always say spend more on classics, like a good pair of leather trousers, an amazing tailored jacket, or a classic handbag. Then you can just mix your everyday tops from the high street.
-
My natural hair is jet black. I used to have it down to my bum. And I went through a phase of being obsessed with fake tan. So from the age of 14 to 16, I looked like an Apache Indian!
-
I think it's important to keep your own identity when you've got a baby.
-
Being married to a footballer is some girls' dream, but it isn't always like that. I work.
-
I drink a lot of water.
-
I've bought some Lanvin snake-print wedges, so maybe you'll see me pushing the pram in those and my hotpants!
-
Cancer is something that, tragically, affects almost all of our lives.
-
I never go wild with nails.
-
Leather pants are my guilty fashion pleasure. I have at least 10 pairs in navy, red, white, dusty pink, grey, suede and black.
-
I use loads of moisturising products and make sure I cleanse, tone and moisturise every day. It's just so important to always keep your skin moisturised.
-
I always have my Laura Mercier foundation and concealer with me, and I love the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks. My favourite is shade 08, because it's just such a lovely natural colour with just a bit of pink to it.
-
I don't have to worry about the obvious things like money.
-
I can't stop staring at my beautiful new baby.
-
My favourite smell on a man is Lynx and Marc Jacobs.
-
When I'm doing my own makeup, I just stick to a bit of black liner, some blush and a nude glossy lip.
-
I was already in a band, and the teachers called my mum in and said: 'Abbey's so clever, it's a total waste if she follows her dream'. But I never wanted to do a job I didn't love, and I'd always wanted to be a model or an actress or a singer.
