As her career was progressing she met Neil Shakell, an old family friend again, fell in love and married in 1994 becoming step mother to Neil's son James. A year later she gave birth to Lucy. In 1996 answering a knock on her door she found herself facing a gunman and later discovered that the only reason he didn't shoot her was because she had her baby in her arms. Having already become disillusioned with her career the incident made her want to escape the limelight. She started buying, renovating and selling houses and found herself so successful at it that she now owns a company looking after property and an interior design consultancy. Having written a property advice column for two national newspapers for 10 years it encouraged her to write 3 property focused books.
