um if we go back now before season one even started filming i'd love to know what is the process of joining i know you joined a little bit later and had already been on ladies of london but what was that like for you um it was

so quick i mean they tried to get in touch quite a while before and i i had a closed instagram account so i just wouldn't open it up and they were like hi we want to see you i was like no who are you um but then it eventually I then got a call from Juliet uh Mayhew while I was in New York and she said these people really want to talk to you and I said oh do you know them okay let me pick up the phone so um and then from there to actually filming was really quick yeah Yeah.

So I think I was one of the last ones cast.

And it was just like a whirlwind because I'm such a control freak in real life.

And then to go on a show like this, you have to relinquish control to just people that you've never met before and just kind of give up your life and open your doors.

And that was a bit strange for me at first, I think.

But, you know, like everyone's welcome now.

Some of the parties are really fun and

When you were a child, what did you think was what made someone rich?

For me, I used to be one of those solo child travellers.

My parents used to send me on the aeroplane by myself on Singapore Airlines and go to Singapore.

And so I'd be on there watching the Singapore Airline air stewardesses go to like business class and first class while I had to sit in the back with the

kids.

with the lanyards on.

And I always thought that I just want to turn left when I walk on an airplane.

Why am I going this direction? So for me, that was like, I really just want to travel down there.

Yeah, that's why they watch it.

No, that's true.

That's true.

Um, I love, what I love about Housewives is that it really takes you out of your comfort zone.

You know, I, none of us, none of the six of us on the show are arguing daily with people-

Yeah, for sure

...

the best kind of cake decorator, chef, cook, whatever you want to call it.

and nessie how about you because you have this incredible background with your baking and that stunning cotswolds cottage how do you sort of balance all your creative passions with that high society lifestyle that we all get invited into on the show

Well, I wish I could showcase it more because it is so fascinating when you see how cakes are made behind the scenes and the client they go to as well and all the stress behind it.

I feel like there's a whole dynamic that goes on behind the scenes.

I'd love to see that.

I don't know if I would love to show it.

But but you do you do see me dabble in a bit of my cake making and bringing it on the show this year.

And I do think the two go hand in hand because they are luxury cakes for luxury events.

Because now you're a housewife, you're

Yeah.

Um, yeah, I don't mind being called Switzerland.

Look, at the end of the day, I have parents who, you know, are from different sides of the world, and they came to London, and they live together.

They never u- they never like forced me to pick a s- a culture that I needed to be or anything like that.

And I think at the end of the day, I've always had the girls' backs when I speak to them.

Where does it stand today?

Um, look, I, I do find...

Like, I hold Juliet M. very fondly.
