I just want to live as long as possible because I have three children and a husband that I don't want to leave.
On 'Voice Kids' we were always so conscious to really take care of the kids and their families throughout the process. But to be honest the kids took it more in their stride.
If money were no object I'd bring back 'Treasure Hunt!' With a helicopter and me. I think it could be updated - you could do something for a community that needs some help.
I do all over body workouts, HIIT classes, boxing and lots of leg and back work.
My main thing is being comfortable and looking like myself. But to be honest, what I wear is pretty much the last thing I think about.
I was a huge fan of 'Treasure Hunt' and 'Challenge Anneka.'
I hydrate my legs by mixing a body oil with moisturiser and I apply it evenly all over my legs to seal in moisture. For a special occasion I might have a spray tan, which gives my skin a nice glow.
I'm not a big fan of antiques shows or 'Cash In The Attic.' I don't care about the rubbish in your loft! I don't find it stimulating in any way.
Midwives absolutely do not get paid enough. When you think about what they are doing - you can't put a price on that.
What I've learnt is that being a midwife is not a job about cute babies. And as a maternity care assistant there's a lot of cleaning involved. It's a vocation.
I will allow myself guilt-free time, because I don't do very often and it's allowed. It's healthy for your mind.
I don't deprive myself. I eat chocolate most nights and if there's a cake knocking around I'll have it. And I do like Nando's.
I was 18 years old and a size 10 when I started modelling, but I was told to lose weight right away.
Be proud to be unique!
If my children want a career in the entertainment industry that's fine - as long as it's realistic.
I don't believe in telling girls to mess with their bodies. Be healthy, be happy, be a decent person, enjoy yourself - that's more important.
It's funny because, when I was younger, my body was 'better,' but I was more insecure about it. Then, in my 30s, I had children, so I loved my body because of what it had produced.
After I gave birth to Isabelle I thought my body would never heal. But it is true what they say: I would go through that amount of pain again for this amount of joy.
The idea of being a role model is bizarre.
Even when I was a model, I was like, 'How am I doing this?' I think it's partly that I've grown up in a normal place, living a very normal working-class life and this doesn't happen to people like me.
I see my parents getting older and I think 'How can I prevent what is going to happen to me?'
I'm a worrier. I worry about everything - I worry about the kids, my family, my health, Matt's health. I always think the worst - and he keeps me calm, he's really optimistic. He's a constant support with everything.
I've never been one to jump into fitness straight after having a baby. I always say if you grow it for nine months it should take that time at least to go back to normal.

It wasn't love at first sight with Matt - we were friends at the beginning, and our friendship developed.
I truly believe being a midwife is the greatest job for a feminist. It's women helping women, believing in them at a time when they're thinking, 'Am I ever going to get through this?'
Seeing what midwives do on a day-to-day basis - you really have this renewed respect for them.
I've got the recognised care certificate, which everyone has to achieve to be able to get a job in a hospital. So, I've got a backup plan now!
I always say to my friends that are pregnant, I'll be there don't you worry, everything's going to be ok, if you're with me you'll be fine.
I am in no way, shape or form perfect.
I won't wear anything very short. I don't do that thing.
When you've had kids it gives you confidence - you think, 'I'm a mum. I'm not scared. If I can raise a human being, I can do this.'
The older I've got, the better my relationship with my body has become, and that's because of my mindset.
I was about to get on a plane and take my husband away for his birthday, I thought oh I have tummy ache. I went into A&E and they said 'oh, you need surgery,' it was really weird - it was appendicitis.
The biggest thing I have learnt is not to overdo make-up - less is more.
What I have done is always try to be nice to work with. I make the best impression, try to do a good job... and if people hire me again, it's for the right reasons.
I know we both have very unusual jobs, but we manage just like any other parents.
My 'I can' comes from confidence really, because I'm not an overly confident person.
You have to find a balance between work and family. And I have help. I have an amazing family who chip in.
I am a mum - I want to give my kids confidence, but limit it because no one wants arrogance.
Yes I'm a TV presenter and a mum and a wife and all those things, but as much as I love a duvet day with my family, I also like rockclimbing and getting dressed up for a glamorous evening now and then.
It's lovely I have 'Big Brother' and 'The Voice,' so that's two regular jobs I love. But even before then, when I wasn't working and I couldn't find work, if something was offered to me and it didn't feel right, I wouldn't take it.
I'm not a great networker.
I would love to take care of myself and look like Victoria Beckham every time I leave the house. But for me that is not realistic.
I think having been a pregnant woman, or having just given birth, you are just so thankful for any help you can get immediately before and after.
I met Matt when he was in Busted. I was working at MTV and I'd see him wearing baggy jeans, waddling around like a duck so they didn't fall down. He used to wear makeup and have weird hairstyles. But I remember thinking underneath all that was a really cute guy.
Sometimes our date nights are just spontaneous.
I tell my children they're beautiful, but that's more about their character as the way they look. We never talk about size or what's 'normal,' as everyone is unique. And I definitely don't mention things that might worry me about my own body in front of them.
Children are fearless and honest, they are the best people to watch. There's no falseness.
Preparation is key - and that's everything from packed lunches the night before to self-tan and eyebrow dye. So once a week I try to put on a layer of gradual self-tan. I also tint my eyebrows once a week with a kit. That makes a huge difference as I have quite sparse eyebrows and it makes me seem more groomed and defined.
The best thing about working with kids is that they are so open and honest that you sort of know where they stand and can act accordingly.
Growing up, I was always quite shy and I was quite scared of having an opinion on things, so I just wouldn't say anything.
I have a bit of a dodgy back so I'm trying my best to to keep it strong. Lots of squats and dead lifting.
I always like to have a few wardrobe options to try to see what I feel best in on the day and so preparation is key - it could be trousers, a dress, or I do love a skirt and top, so I have to be prepared.
When it comes to beauty in particular I think it's really important to choose brands that have real and genuine expertise. Brand that I trust.
The biggest change I notice in the winter months is with my skin. I find all the cold weather and central heating leaves it feeling more dull, dry and easily irritated. So for me, finding little ways to make my skincare routine work harder is my winter beauty priority.

For me, Venus are the experts in keeping my legs smooth, and offer a wide range of razors to ensure I have the right tool for the right time for the best results.
The main thing going through my head when I step out onto any show is: 'Don't mess it up, Emma, don't mess it up.'
It boils down to this: do they have the ability? If they want to be a singer and have a good voice, then yes. I would support them in it 100 per cent. But I see so many people who are delusional, and I would tell my kids if it wasn't a realistic goal.
