00:05Hi everyone, I'm Michelle. Welcome to my new home.
00:09I feel like I've got a tiny part of history. It was built in 1871, it's a Victorian townhouse
00:15and Einstein lived here as well. It was basically a building site, just empty rooms and concrete
00:23everywhere and even this floor actually wasn't a floor, you could see all the way down, so
00:29I had major, major work done to it.
00:36After I finished it all, I really would love to get into interiors. I have that bug, so
00:44who knows, watch this space.
00:50I wanted my bedroom to be really romantic, very relaxing, because when you've got a
00:56hectic life and you travel so much, you want it to be luxurious. So I asked the Dorchester
01:03to show me around all their suites and I picked one in particular and I basically copied it.
01:11And I just love the staircase. The staircase is just like something out of a movie. I look
01:17at it every day and go, wow.
01:25I decided to buy the piano. I would love to play, what a talent. But Bethany just started
01:32teaching herself on her iPhone and she's not had any lessons and she's been doing that for
01:39five weeks. And she is really good.
01:44Bethan insisted that he had a black and a red room, so I had to design round the black and
01:49the red theme.
01:52When they moved in, I didn't show them it until it was finished. I was dying to show them
01:59it, but I left it. But they walked in almost with me covering their eyes. And Bethany, my
02:05youngest, just cried and she says, Mum, this is so special.
02:10For the last year, I was on and off in my family home and living in a hotel. So you
02:18couldn't
02:19do the family things that you wanted to do. So when I moved in here, we're cooking just
02:25about every single night. And I'm the shopper, I'm the cleaner. I tidy up everything after
02:32Bethany's huge mess. But she is an incredible cook. Since the breakup with me and my ex-husband,
02:40it has been heartbreaking. And things are tough, but you know, life is tough out there for lots
02:47of other people in a more severe way as well. I think what this new home has done is suddenly
02:54I don't feel any bitterness anymore. And it's a new beginning for me and my children. And I
03:01love coming home to it. I work away a lot. I do 200 flights a year. But when I come
03:08home,
03:08this is my home. And this is everything about me and about my kids. And it's very, very special.
03:16I never ever thought I would do a hello photo shoot in my family home. But I'm absolutely
03:22delighted that I did. And I hope that it shows that if anyone out there is going through tough
03:28times, that there is a new beginning. And this is my new beginning.
03:59I hope you see people coming out of here. I really wanted to watch this happen.
04:02Let me see you later, man.
04:02There's a vast majority of people from people.
04:04Dear go.
04:05And thank you very much.
04:05I hatte live for your health iommar,
