Born on January 10th

"I honestly don't diet or work out regularly. I'm just always running around - you'll never catch me having a day on the sofa."

"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 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."

"I never go wild with nails."

"I can't stop staring at my beautiful new baby."

"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'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."

"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!"

"The one product I can't live without is my mascara. I'm addicted to long eyelashes and think girls just look so pretty with long lashes!"

"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."

"Leather pants are my guilty fashion pleasure. I have at least 10 pairs in navy, red, white, dusty pink, grey, suede and black."

"I love to read, and I love Martina Cole."

"I'd always had quite a privileged lifestyle, to be honest. I've never wanted for anything, but I do know the value of things. I'm not, like, a brat."

"I don't have to worry about the obvious things like money."

"My mum had four kids on her own, so if I had one kid with one nanny and not a full-time job, it would be a joke. And I think the impossible happens when you leave your kids. I've seen so many nannies in the park on their phones, and the kids are running off."

"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 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 think it's important to keep your own identity when you've got a baby."

"Honestly, I don't buy papers or the weeklies. I think when something messy does happen, you just need your closest friends and family all around you, and it's nothing to do with anyone else."

"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."

"My mum taught me to always make sure you protect your skin with SPF. I always make sure I put my St. Tropez SPF on my face every morning, no matter the weather, before I go out of the house."

"I'm constantly on the go and have found rushing round after a new born baby is the best form of exercise! I always remind myself that men appreciate a womanly shape and some curves!"

"I must be the only person in 'Strictly' history who's actually put on weight during rehearsals."

"I've always been a bit of a poser. I was chucked out of ballet lessons for looking in the mirror."

"I drink a lot of water."

"I always take my make-up off before bed."

"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 don't like feeling vulnerable. I think my mum and dad's divorce affected me more than I let on."

"I don't like being weak in front of my mum or anyone for that matter. I don't like crying."
