Over the years, I've had two ankle operations, torn my hamstring, had my hip resurfaced, and snapped the anterior cruciate ligament in my knee.

Ballet requires movements which are very unnatural. With every step, you do a circular movement of the hip. You turn out from the hip and make your knees point out to the side instead of forward.

Being a ballerina can be a very unnatural life, especially after you've had children.

My mum sent me to ballet from the age of five, not because I was that into it but because I had really knock knees.

I have had two knee surgeries on my right knee: that was my jumping leg that I jumped off for years and years.

Being a full-time mother is one of the biggest jobs in the world; it's like another career for me. I love every moment of it - even the challenge of making cupcakes.
