Once a year, the former Strictly Come Dancing winner treats herself to a week of detoxing in the blazing sunshine.

At first, the mum-of-two feared she was being "selfish" but now she has embraced the parenting break as her "week of self-love".

She added: "There is a juicing retreat in Portugal, called Juicy Oasis founded by Jason Vale. I go there once a year and spend the week detoxing.

"That's my selfish week where I am away from the kids for five or six days. Now I call it my week of self-love.

"It’s how I reset, recharge, have some me-time. Then you’re a better parent because you are calmer. You are energised."
