As she herself once said: “It was very hard. There were lots of tears along the way.”

Her story started in Marbella, Spain, where she was born in 2004. Her mother Kelly was pregnant with her when she, her estate agent husband Robert and their two older children, Paige, now 23, and Charlie, 18, moved to Spain where Robert’s parents manages a restaurant.

And her success is all the sweeter because it was fought for so hard.
