So it has been a heck of a 2+ years since Covid hit, and then the devastation of losing my husband, but I will soon be announcing a return to the stage. I’m excited, if a little apprehensive. Thank you to everyone who has been patient with me. Lots of love ❤️ #youngwidow

Had a fun time in London today, doing a photoshoot for a National magazine Christmas edition. More details to follow. I love the red nails! Maybe I’ll go for red nails again? I never do this! And Logan loved his first proper train ride. #photos #Christmas #Soprano #widow

So very excited to be shortlisted for the event I founded with Jay back in 2017. I know he would be so proud to see the event survive everything and go from strength to strength. My entry clearly ticked enough boxes but there is no voting (sorry) and we just have to wait now..
