“I fell in love with dancing but it was the most nerve-racking thing I’ve ever done in my life,” she confesses.
“Snuggling up with Angelica watching the show is one of our treats, but it’s only recently I’ve been able to hear the signature music without my heart starting to palpitate and the stress roaring up. For years, that music triggered a real fear in me.”
Motherhood, she says, is “amazing... I’m so blessed to have Arlo and Angelica, they’re the centre of my life and my focus is keeping them well and safe.”
She describes being in her 40s as “lovely”, adding: “I feel very settled and happy. Falling in love, setting up home and having a family and raising them has been so wonderful and exciting, and I just wish time didn’t seem to be going by so fast.”
A lifelong vegetarian, who doesn’t drink, she’s pretty health conscious.
“I’ve got more into health and fitness as I’ve become an old lady and go to the gym and exercise about three times a week these days,” she says.
“Recently I’ve really fallen in love with yoga, which is very helpful for me as I have a bad back, since I had a very, very bad back accident when I was 19. It happened on a boat and broke my back. Boats and I are perhaps not meant to be together!”
The legacy of the most recent accident, she says, is a renewed commitment to support people who are struggling.
“It makes such a big difference when you’re willed on by so many people and that pulled us through,” says Natasha.
“I’ve also learnt just how precarious life is and how grateful we must be for every single day.”
