5 STYLE SECRETS

1 A SHIRT that doesn’t ride up — because ordinary shirts come untucked and look unruly, my dance shirts are made of stretch fabric attached to a form of underwear, like a body suit.

2 DISPOSABLE clothing protectors — I’ll sweat during a twohour show, there’s no avoiding it. So I‘ll stick these clever little protectors under my arms. I’m lucky because I am not a massive sweater: I know many who are and it can be quite slippery for their partners.

3 EXPENSIVE shampoo — I’ve got nice hair, I am not losing it, but I use expensive products from Kerastase (£10 to £35) rather than a cheap one.

4 CONTROLLING the frizz — I’ve got quite curly hair so I use Shu Uemura Shape Paste to control it. It’s quite expensive (£22, Toni & Guy), but you don’t need to use much.

5 GOING au naturel — I don’t like perfumed things so I don’t use aftershave and in the shower I go for natural products such as Weleda body wash (Men’s Body Wash and Deodorant Duo, £12.95).
