“And at the time they asked me, I was very pregnant. And I just was like, it's a little bit too. I found it a bit overwhelming. I was also scared about working during COVID and that, you know, at the peak of COVID, should I say, because we're very much still living through it. Because if you were pregnant, you were also at more risk. And then obviously if you were of a background and pregnant, you're at more risk of getting COVID. And also, it was so I was just like, look, I'm going to be in my house. I will 100%, because this was just a pitch at this time, right? And you know how this works, you can make a million different programs, but none of them necessarily make it on telly. So I said, look, if you think you put my name on this pitch to channel four is going to get it across the line, put my name on it, but I'm in the new year. Once I've had the baby in October”

“Look, I'll be honest with you, I found that really hard. And I actually found that probably the hardest thing that I've come across in my career. I found it really. Have background on that before we come to this. As you said, so at the time of filming the show, there was a campaign started by two brilliant women called Five Times More and Black women were five times more likely to die in and around childbirth than their white counterparts. And if you, what we say black and brown women, but if you were from a mixed background, so I was four times as likely if you were of an Asian background, you were three times as likely. And basically, if you weren't white, it didn't look good for you in and around childbirth. So I got approached by a production company to. Go on this sort of Journey into why.”

“You know, that might muddle into, you know, if I know about it and I've got an opinion on it, yeah, I'm going to tell you, but I'm not going to talk about something that I don't know about because I don't think it's fair”

“Well, I think you do. And I think it's not just DMs. I think people just expect, and I'm also really aware of that, I call it the blue-tick responsibility. I'm really aware of the fact that people could. Take my information, and it might not be correct. So I don't want to become, and I think there was a lot of that over the pandemic, people reposting stuff before they knew the right information. And then I've I've then become part of that scaremongering culture, and I feel it's my responsibility to report on stuff that I know everything about. And the stuff that I know everything about is myself, my brand, right? So I think don't expect that from people that are also not in the know. Think it's quite a big ask, actually. And obviously, there's a lot I'm passionate about, and that might.”

“So, I think there's now a pressure that we all have to take that approach, which is interesting, that we should be a politician, we should comment on current affairs. Like, look, I have a blue tick for the reason that, you know, for the reason that I'm verified. And it's not because I'm a news anchor and it's not because I know everything that's going on in the world. And it's not because... Know I'm constantly going to expose every part of my life. I'll be the real me on there. But I just can't if something bad is happening at home, I might be ready to talk about it in a week. But that's the sort of instant, Instagram for me. So I think.”

“Visually, I'm honest, but I also like it looking nice. I'm not going to post the worst part of my day. And I have respect for people that do. And I say this a lot because I think there's become a pressure with social media that we now have to be honest constantly. And I should be displaying my stretch marks at all times. And I should be saying my child's just, you know, I don't know, had a really messy nappy in front of everybody and they're vomd on me and I've got to take a selfie and document that moment. I have respect for you if you can do that. But I'm too busy getting myself out of the shit at the time that the last thing I'm thinking about is a selfie. Do you know what I mean? So I really...”

“It's not just acting the once because then it turns into the whole new world now, which is social media. I treat my social media like my home, right? I keep it tidy. I keep it nice if someone wants to come in. I'll make sure I've tidied up the place. So my pictures are good. But, you know, and I try to.”

“And feel passionate about it and believe in it and know it works and feel proud of that association. And there are those checklists that I do in my mind and the questions that I would ask someone. So tell me about it. So when did this start? When did you get the phone call? How exciting is it? And if I don't feel confident in that interview, I'm not doing it. And that is my new thing. And for the past sort of year, that's what's been playing out in my mind. It's changed the landscape for me.”

“I put myself in this situation. This is actually mentally what I do. You're going to laugh. So if I get a phone call about something and something's come in, because I have my five-year plan of stuff that I know that I would like to do and we will work to make that happen. But we're also reactive. So people might call and say we thought about Rochelle for this and this will be great. And I actually pretend that I'm interviewing myself on the sofa on this morning and I have to promote it. No, do this because it's actually matters. So if I was interviewing you about, I don't know, you now are being the face of this mug, right? Could you sit on the sofa and I'm like, so tell me everything. So why did you want to do this? Could you genuinely say it with your gut?”

“It's easier to be choosy, right? So, this is now easier for me to say because at the time it was like, well, I don't know when, you know, when the next one might be, you know, the next deal might come in. And do you know what even more so? In the last sort of 18 months. And this is with everything. It's now. I'm so. It's the nose that are not more important to me than the yeses. And look, I come from a working class background where my mum's always been like, make hay while the sun shines. Like, this is amazing. But I've really sort of flipped the switch on that now. Said to myself, Do I feel it?”

“I've got to the. Do you know what? I think I've got to that point now. Well, yes, and it does, again, come with age. It comes with, I suppose, more financial stability than I had before. I left the group and people were, and I wasn't sure what was going to happen, right? Because I'd left this group where my life was planned to a T for me. And then I was going it alone. And I thought, well, that's good money. I should take it. I don't know what. And hi, I am Rochelle Humes. And this is sausages. I don't know whatever. I've definitely done that and I'm not ashamed to say it. And yes, with, I suppose, more. Now financial stability.”

“Why are we going to do that? The same way when I left the group, everyone was like, You're going to release a solo album? I work well in a band. I know my strengths. I'm not, you know, I'm not Beyonce. I mean, I'd love to be and I think I am after tequila, but that's a different story. But I know what I'm good at. I'm a good talker. So, you know, media and television, that's my route. That's something that I'm passionate about. So, and everyone for ages was like, I bet she's in the studio and I bet she doesn't want to tell us and I bet she's doing a solo album. I'm like, I'm bloody well not because guess what? I've taken what I need from this experience. I got away with it in a band, and yes, I, you know, I can sing. I'm not the best singer in the world. I'm really not. And guess what? The charts are full of amazing singers.”

“It's that it's taking that like focus, put your energy in what you know, because you know what you're good at. You know what happens. You get that, you get the buzz from it. You know what sits right with you. You know where you're aligned. To go with that and work on that because. That's sort of how I live my life. Everything that I know that I'm not, people always say to me, oh, you should go into acting. I'm like, I can act up to Marvin. I need a couple of times. But I'm not an actor. I'm not. I know I'm not.

“But I will always be real with you. And I think that is what it doesn't have to come, you know, from a place of judgment or a place of disrespect. It's like, look. Be go why I'd think about that a bit more. And I think that's what I want my kids to have from me. They will have love and abundance If you're not good at a certain thing, I'm not going to go do it and lead them into a room blind. I'm going to say, look, this is what you're amazing at. Should we look at this? And I think We can love our kids and support them without. Know because I think that's doing them wrong.”

And I'll like to hear them sing. But I'm going to be real. And I think that's what we need more of. And I think that's what, because I'm everyone's hype girl to the end. I will hype you.

“And I think that's because that's the. That is the culture that we live in now you literally can launch a page and you can launch something overnight. It doesn't mean that it's going to work. And I think. Yeah, I think I just am always real with that sort of stuff because you have to work hard. People underestimate graft, and I think particularly that's something that's really important to me for my children. Are they going to have the same level of hustle that I have and that same work ethic? And I still don't know the answer to that, to be honest with you. Do I do that through schooling? Do I really make a fuss about their tests? But I also want to let them know at the same time, I didn't leave school with X, Y, and Z. I did it myself. So I think it's something that I just look, show up, be present, be committed.”

“It's all consuming. And I think if you're going to start a business, you have to know that don't think you're going to turn your phone off at five because that's not a thing. It's not a thing. If you turn your phone off at five, don't expect a successful business. Like, don't expect to make money for the first period of time. Expect to, if you break even, that's good. And you have to be all in. You can't, like, I speak to some of my sister's friends and they want to, oh, we want to start a business. We think we should do this. But, you know, do you do you actually? And I think it's, and that's not being patronizing, that's like you're not going to make an Instagram page for it and it's going to be success overnight and you're going to post a few pretty pictures. It takes everything. And I think. Once you're happy with that.”

“I was really nervous. I felt like I was really just pitching something that I knew that was great and that I believed in, but it was really, I suppose when it's your passion. It feels you with that level of nerves that are different, right? Instantly, It was boots. They got it. They were like, okay, love it. We want to take it all. And we love the curl custard. And I was like, okay, these are my people These are my people. And it's ironic. It's just, I'm so pleased that I went with my gut and I was persistent with that because I felt like it was going to go somewhere. So I needed to stand firm on that.”

“The fact that I want people to walk on their high street and be able to get a hair product for Afro hair. That's a must. The fact that, you know, the level of moisturizing is different when you're of a black background. You know, and that appreciating those things. And I think. I mean, what's really interesting is, I think, if I'd have pitched this idea now. Post BLM movement, I think they would have bit my hand off. Which is wild, right? But when I did pitch it, it was like, no, there's not really, I don't think there's a need. And I'm like, there's no need for a product for people with curly or afro hair. Sorry. So there was a bit of a struggle. And then I had this meeting with Boots. I actually felt like I was on Dragon's Den.”

“I mean, they said it without saying it as bluntly as I did. Yeah, it was, yeah, definitely implied. So then, so I was going for a whole thing and there was, I'd had this moment where. One of my products was a curl custard. That was key to the range. Like, that's happening. And there were quite a few retailers that didn't feel the need. Like the range. I think they like the range and they like the association with me and what that might bring to their store. But the values and everything else that comes with the brand that I've created, they wasn't so interested in. So the fact that I'm trying to make it diverse”

“Most people eventually want to partner with a retailer, right? It's getting in there and it's, you know. And that's where I was lucky. You know, the business has been me and it's been my graft, aside from Rochelle Humes, but that's where I do feel lucky that I could use my profile to have a meeting with certain retailers and be in that room and, you know, use that to my advantage, which I did do. However, it can go against me too. So it's not always. Okay, you've got that because you have had the profile that has helped with that. It's actually can go against you because, you know, what do you know? You're a celebrity coming into this world and what is this going to be another celebrity range?”

“Dealing with a whole new level of testing, which rightly so. So it took a while, it took three years in, you know, for before the pandemic hit and it was in store. It was three years work prior to that. And I'm never happy with something on the first round. It's notorious. It's not happened yet. It won't happen. There'll always be something that I want to change. So that obviously took quite a long time. And then it was me, I suppose, deciding from a sensible business perspective if I want to take the risk and go on my own e-commerce first of all, or do I want to partner with a retailer?”

“I knew exactly what I wanted, so developed, we started off with a range of seven products that we developed, which takes a long time. And please believe it's particularly when it's children involved. So the testing for any product, the process is quite stringent and it's a full-on thing, but add newborn into it.”

There could be somebody new that now fills the gap that I, you know, had created or left open. So I think for me, it's always being that one step ahead In control. You're getting this thing”

“Products that you could use with a whole family that were gentle, that had everything that I wanted as, you know, my values. And so the journey began. And I didn't want this to be a flash in the pan thing. I didn't want this to be baby by Rochelle Humes. This wasn't about me, right? This was about me building a brand from the ground up, rolling with the punches, which we certainly have done. And yeah, bigger picture, you know, almost creating a space. I knew what I wanted to do, but almost creating a space for myself. I'm always going to be needed, right? Because it's mine, and no one can make the decisions that I can make because this is my baby.”

And going through that real phase of like thinking I'm an earth mum and being really precious about what I use on my kid, you know, they are the most precious thing ever in your life. And I was really fussy about what I used. And I would shop really premium. So I'd be like going into like Liberty Beauty Hall and finding out, you know, and I'd be really into it. There wasn't anything that existed on the high street that I felt happy with. You know, a lot of them have like outrageous chemicals in and things that you are like, oh, that's quite harsh for baby skin. So for me, it was bridging that gap of.”

It just wouldn't work. I don't think I'd remember the dance routines, the thought of doing it's all of the, like the actual Love it and I feel like a bit of a cool mum that I had that time But it's not me now.

We didn't officially break up because Wasn't a need to because we love each other and it's look, we don't talk every day because we spent so long of our life together. But I see one of them tomorrow and it's like. Haven't not seen each other. I think we just got to a point where we were like. We've grafted, we've done this now, we're ready to sort of like there's things like when you're in a group that you don't even think about, right? Because you're in control of yourself. And the same way I am now. But thinking about things, like we would all have to agree on the same day off.”

I'm like, that's me as a person. So there's time, you know, there'd be times when you'd feel responsible. And because that was always our sort of mantra, like we're in this together, like one of us drops off, we let the other one down. If you weren't up to it, the pressure that you'd put on yourself to be up to it for everybody else. Like I had a layer and I came back to work three and a half weeks later and performed on national television like with spanks up to my neck to try and hold in the belly and like this is gross for you, but boobs leaking because I'm like trying to navigate am I breastfeeding? Am I not all because I didn't want to let the girls down and the fact that the label were like you've got another single to release?

We enjoyed it because as these things happened, or we got booked for an amazing performance, which was really hard to get, or we, you know, an appearance or a Jonathan Ross chat show, we were like, we've only bloody got Jonathan Ross because we couldn't get on there the single before because nobody was interested.

So for us, it was kind of every little bit of success meant so much because we would all, at the time, we'd be like, oh, we should have just got an expert and we'd say things like that because we'd think it was so hard for us and we'd see these groups that appeared overnight and we'd be like, oh my goodness, we've been here for years trying, you know, our dressing rooms would be toilets because that's sort of the level it was.

And if you're the one that may have enjoyed your Christmas too much and put on a bit of weight, oh, people are going to tell you, or if you're the one that kind of, you know, there's with girls, it's all very visual. And I think that's what I think we can all say that we would have found the toughest at one point. For us, our We didn't burst onto the scene, right? So like we weren't like jealous or like one direction who went on X Factor in its prime and gained this overnight momentum and girls overnight want to wait outside their house because there's one minute you're a guy that's just turned up for an audition and the next minute you've got this pressure that you don't know how to handle because no one's taught you that.

“But yeah, so I had a ball. I was young. For a proportion of it, I was single. Know, I didn't have chill. I just traveled the world, we performed, we had a bloody good time doing it. So when I look back, I only actually look back fondly.”

“You'd be like, yeah. And it was one of those things because you know you couldn't do anything about it because we lived our life by that. So it is what it is. And even if you think your point is so valid, you're in the two.”

“We were actually really fortunate when I see other girl bands and their fallouts and the way that looked, I think, goodness me, yes, we bickered, but we bickered like sisters. We never had a row that was like, we just never had it. We didn't. We kind of was all there for the same reason. We loved what we did and we had a respect for that. So I feel blessed because when I look at the history of girl bands, it doesn't always play out that way. So we had the best time. If there was something up, we'd sort it out and that was it done. And it was all only really ever a work thing. So it'd be like, oh, I don't like that. I don't think that's the right vibe for the video. Or I don't think, and that's the sort of disagreement. That's sort of where it stopped. And then we always had this, there was five of us. So we had the majority rules. Rule?”

“I look back now and I think this Saturdays existed at the perfect time in my life. Like I was a young girl in, well, I think... When I joined the group, I was like, obviously it took a while for us to launch. So I think I was 18 when we formed. And what young girl doesn't want to be. A girl band. Well, I mean, I'm sure there are girls that don't, but for me, it was the most incredible experience. When I look back now, I think...”

“But yeah, I always want to speak about it and be open because your family doesn't have to look like I met Marvin and he's mum and dad have been married like 40 odd years and you know they they they share the same DNA and it's all you know it's all very in my mind how I would have wanted my family to look but everybody's family comes if they're different problems their their road hasn't been plain sailing and I just think so it's something that I've always spoken about because Is what you make at the end of the day, and I think You said if it served you in the right way, then brilliant. But also, if your family is perfect on the outside and it's not serving you Then you don't have to hold on to things that you think you have to because you've got that ideal picture in your mind.”

“And, you know, I was aware that I then had a side of my family, my black side, that I wasn't around, but that was still a big part of my life. And I was very aware of how that looked. And I knew that I had siblings that looked like me, but my family was just a bit of a big messy picture. But like with so much love, like I had the best upbringing my mum did everything by me to raise me in the right way. She did a phenomenal job. But I was really embarrassed of how that looked. Like I didn't see a Christmas commercial that had like my family on the ad. But really. As I'm older now, and as I said, it does come with age. I'm like, it's amazing. Like I have so many different elements of my life.”

“Yeah, and I think for me, I definitely grew up with a sort of I'm going to say embarrassment because I'm not sure if that is the right word. I suppose as a kid, maybe it was, but my family didn't look like everybody else's. So I knew I was very aware, like I knew my grandparents, God rest their souls from my dad's side. But I grew up in a white family, felt like I'd constantly have to explain that my sister didn't look like my sister, but we were sisters. And, you know, she'd be the last person in the room that you'd say. That was my sister because we don't look anything alike.”

“And that is the key of just not holding on to stuff that you think you have to because actually there is always a light at the end of that tunnel. And my light is them and the siblings that I didn't have around me that are now everything to me, you know.”

“It really is. And that's what I mean when I speak of not holding on to. Resentment, not holding on to, because you know me thinking, oh, well, that's lovely for them. They live the life of my with my dad. And they seem to get the attention and not holding on to things that you actually don't know too much about, like not holding on to those feelings of anger towards. The fact that he wasn't around for me because if I'd held on to that, I wouldn't have gone and met them for dinner and struck up that relationship and I wouldn't have real key players that are in my corner in my life and people that I adore. But that comes of age. As I said, the younger me, I read something the other day on Instagram that said, I'm so proud of how the older me and situations that the younger me just wouldn't have entertained.”
