The star was on The One Show last month, where she discussed the biggest inspiration for her cooking.
She said on the programme: “[It came from] my mother,” she said. “Nowadays this wouldn’t be allowed, but when I was six [me and my sister] would just be on rickety chairs over the gas stove stirring things, not cooking as entertainment but just to help get food on the table.
“You learn because you see it happening and you had to.”
