'I lost a very dear friend to cancer recently and it put things in perspective'

‘I love designer shoes – but they never fit!’

MODEL AND CRICKET WAG RACHAEL FLINTOFF, 30, ON TATTOOS AND HER ONE-STEP BEAUTY REGIME

It doesn’t bother me that I’m 1st heavier since giving birth to my third child, Rocky, in April. I weigh about 10st, but I’m 5ft 10in and in proportion. My hips are now wider, although my bust hasn’t grown – I’m a 34B, if that. I’d love to be bigger, but I make the most of what I have!

I’m tempted to get a tattoo. My husband Andrew [Freddie’s real name] has the three lions and his England cricket shirt number, 11, on one shoulder and the names of me and the kids on the other. I’d want one somewhere discreet, like my lower back.

I’ve got really wide feet so I find it hard to get shoes to fit. I’ve got a couple of pairs of Gina shoes, but I tried on some Christian Louboutins and couldn’t get my feet in them. I was gutted.

My skin is very sensitive and it can be dry so I stick to products I know and love. I’ve used Clinique Superbalanced Makeup for years, and it’s really good for my face.

My priorities have changed since I‘ve had children. I don’t have time to brush my hair some days so I wear a baseball cap. And I often don’t wear make-up, except mascara. My eyelashes are long but they don’t really curl and aren’t very dark so I always apply Dior Diorshow Mascara.

I believe in living each day to the full. I lost a very dear friend to cancer recently and it put things in perspective. If Andrew and I have an argument, I won’t leave the house until we make up. You never know what’s going to happen.
