What we put in our bodies can make us feel depressed or anxious, and it's the same for fitness, I think it all joins up in this big circle.

But I like a challenge, anything I can't do it inspires me to learn it.

There was a time when I'd resigned myself to never having my own family, so to fall pregnant with Belle was overwhelming.

My biggest source of inspiration is my mum.

I'm self-sufficient, but it's brilliant to have people in your life that you love, who love you and are important to you.

I've had lots of opportunities to do things I'm passionate about and the things I care about and I feel that I can live in a world that doesn't really accept people that are different happily.

I was the victim of a violent attack in March 2008. I had sulphuric acid thrown in my face and was severely injured leaving me with loss of site in my eye and full thickness burns on my neck, chest, face and hands.

My perfect night in would be lots of bad food like biscuits and chocolate, and possibly an ice cold fizzy drink.

I was standing in the street with people walking past me and I could feel my face evaporating. I thought I was on fire as the acid ate at my skin.

The important things for me are stability, consistency and love, and I have that through my family, so that's a great place to be.

I would encourage anyone to keep a pad of post-it notes by their bed and write down small, achievable goals and celebrate those successes and that will give you confidence to create bigger ones and achieve them.

Before I was attacked, I would write about the future - just goals, lists and plans. I'd scribble without depth or substance about the things I wanted to do with my life, whether short or long-term, and how I thought my future would be: a successful career in TV and modelling, marriage, a family.

I never watch anything live, I record all my programmes and have a real binge on a Friday night and watch them all.

People always go on about me being an inspiration, which is nice. But it's an unrealistic pedestal to be put on. There are other people out there who have had things happen to them, not just me.

I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not and I think talking so openly about my story gave me acceptance that it's ok to be me.

My recovery has been backwards, forwards, up and down - and still is.

There's nothing worse than saying the past is in the past, then dragging it into your kid's life.

When you're on you're way into work, hit up the WhatsApp, find out what people want, and bring in a real coffee for everyone. Trust me when I say they will all really appreciate it.

I was living alone, so I'd get quite lonely and running became a way to combat my loneliness and de-stress.

I have learnt from Simon Cowell that anything is possible if you work hard enough and also that acts of kindness or giving somebody a few minutes of your time can have a massive impact on their life and their future.

Have people like Kim Kardashian really fought their way to the top on their own? Or is that just the brand they want us to see. I don't buy it. I think we flourish by working together.

It's so easy to butt into a conversation and offer your own thoughts or opinions, but try not to interrupt. Instead, focus on what the other person is saying, think twice and be the person that listens. It's so much more valuable than constantly talking.

But like everyone else I've come to the sad realisation food banks are an all-too-common feature on the streets of Britain.

In March 2008, when I was 24 years old, a man I had been dating arranged for an accomplice to throw sulphuric acid in my face.
