Rod and I are living a very charmed and fortunate life, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

The truth is I'm a very traditional woman, and Rod - despite everything people may think - is a very traditional man. It's true he absolutely loves glamour, and he hasn't got a conventional job, but performing aside, he's happiest at home with his kids around him or lounging in front of the fire watching a war documentary like 'D-Day Remembered.'

I'm lucky that I have a supportive partner who loves me when I'm bigger as well as slim.

I used to be very into fitness and would happily pose for photos in my bikini. Now I look at those and think, 'Where did that body go?' But that was before children.

If I had a partner who asked when I was going to the gym or commented that I was eating too much or asked if I really needed an extra potato, that would make me feel awful. It would be terrible.

Rod has always been like my third child and my most demanding boy out of the three.

Rod's always opening doors for me, but I usually tell him to walk through first. Otherwise, if we're at a restaurant and I'm in front, the paparazzi end up getting a big giant close-up of me, and then he's trailing behind, looking like my little child!

Rod and I believe that it's our duty to set an example, which means teaching our children to treat others as they would wish to be treated.

I wouldn't like to say that I spend most of my time on holiday, but I have done a lot of traveling and have been to a lot of places.

I modelled in my 20s, and it was an obsessive time. I was under pressure to look a certain way.

There's certainly never a dull moment in the Stewart clan.

As parents, it is our responsibility to show by example and educate our children on the importance of caring for our planet.
