I hope I dance with more life than a cleaning implement.
— Emma Weymouth
I will forever be grateful for 'Strictly' and put my heart into each routine.
If I'm in London I might meet with the fashion brands I work with or be at Vogue, where I'm a contributor.
I'm having my portrait painted, for example, so that will be then put up at Longleat and hopefully stay here for a long time. You become part of a long line that goes back and will hopefully continue. That's what you want. You just want the house to survive, and you do everything you can to maintain it, look after it and support.
I went to hospital and they gave me an MRI scan and thought it was a non-cancerous tumour, because I had bled in my pituitary gland. It was very painful, so they ended up delivering John early. That whole process was terrifying. All I cared about was John.
I'm always cooking and can be found in the kitchen rustling up something for myself and the boys.
When you fall in love and get married you're excited just to be in love and getting married.
I'm a big believer in honesty, and in this Instagram world, it's important to remember that not everyone's lives are perfect.
I just call myself Emma.
I gave up ballet when I was four because I was so shy.
Oh no, I would never presume to give anyone advice, I would not be so bold.
So many people struggle to have children and it's not unusual to go down a slightly different path if you need to.
I was made more 'aware of myself,' from the outside in, when I got engaged.
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'm a London girl.
Having a baby is the best thing in the world.
My mum was very hands-on - she was a brilliant mother - and I think when I have children I will probably be the same.
While I'm very into fitness, I'm much more used to swinging kettlebells around than my actual body.
Pomellato Jewellery makes such timeless pieces. I have a chunky gold bracelet that goes with everything.
The funny thing about living at Longleat is that there's no 'typical' day, but I usually wake up around 6:45 A. M.
My mum originally taught me to cook.
I've been lucky that I haven't encountered much adversity growing up in London and having friends from all different backgrounds.
It's important for children to understand how important their diet is. What you eat impacts on how you feel, as well as staying fit and strong, so it's great to get that into your children's consciousness as early as possible.
Do I believe in soulmates? I certainly hope so.
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 got called back for 'Game Of Thrones,' and they nearly cast me.
I am athletic and I exercise a lot, so I might look like I dance, but I don't.
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.
But the more honest you are, the more people open up in return.
Whatever I've done, if it's to represent something, to move something forward, if that's how it's being put, I'm thrilled. But it's really about our children's generation. They're three and one. Can you imagine, when they're in their 30s, what things will be like?
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.
You forget everything, nothing else matters once you have a baby.
Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be living in a safari park!
I like the traditional way of doing things.
I never imagined 'Catwoman' would be part of my 'Strictly Come Dancing' journey. But when I turned up to the first of my top secret meetings about joining the show in April, that was the codename I had to whisper to hotel staff, just in case anyone found out that I was set to be a part of it.
Making crumble is one of my favourite things in the world - I add oats, berries, honey and cinnamon.
I want to be a young mum.
I have long held the ambition of my own TV chef programme.
I'm like a cookie-making machine sometimes - they go so quickly and I have to make more.
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 was taken aback by the amount of interest, due to my colour, that exploded when we got engaged. It has developed into a good conversation which has changed the way Britain is adapting. I am glad to be part of that, though I didn't do it on purpose! I just happened to fall in love.
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.
I auditioned for everything. It was daily, relentless. Independent films, chewing gum commercials, television shows.
I am so grateful for my boys. They're my entire life.
There has been some snobbishness, particularly among the much older generation. There's class and then there's the racial thing.
My dad's Nigerian and I grew up in London, and that's just how it is.
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.
I'm different to how I used to be but then I think having a baby changes everyone.
I do believe in fate - I think you have to. It helps make sense of things.
