Home is... I am back in Primrose Hill, where I was born and bred. It’s a full circle really.
-
Where was your first flat?
It was West Hampstead. I started modelling at 15, doing lots of TV commercials and campaigns — anything from 7 Up to Oil of Olay — which meant I could buy a flat at 17. I was fortunate to have these opportunities and things were easier then. And to get on the property ladder then really sorted me for life.
Where would you recommend for a first date?
If I was going on a date now (which I have been on a few of, recently), I would do something not too formal. I'd mix it up: either a walk in Regent's Park and along the canal or the National Portrait Gallery, or even something like yoga or go to the Stretch Lab. This way they would know straight away what I am about and what they are getting into: om shanti!
Which shops do you rely on?
