Kimberly Wyatt never wanted to raise a family in Los Angeles - and the Anglophile singer now considers the UK to be her true home

Wyatt was born and raised in Warrensburg, Missouri and aged 14 she earned a scholarship to study in New York's Joffrey Ballet and the Broadway Dance Center. By 17 she worked on cruise ships and casino shows in Las Vegas and in 2001 she moved to Los Angeles.

But the Don't Cha singer always knew she never wanted to have kids in LA and she is now fully in love with England and insists re-locating to the country is the best decision she ever made because she loves the people, the National Health Service and the food.

In an interview with Loaded magazine, she said: "The US is where I was born and I lived in LA for 10 years, but the UK was where I felt acceptance when I got on stage as a Pussycat Doll. The fans were unreal and that acceptance certainly drove me to keep me coming over and ultimately I just fell in love with Britain. There's a real warmth here.

"I knew I never wanted to raise a family in LA. I met my husband Max and I've been in the UK for over 10 years now. I feel safe, I feel taken care of, and I love the fact there's an NHS and Sunday roasts!"

Although she likes to indulge in a traditional British Sunday roast - which consists of a roasted meat joint, roast potatoes, a selection of vegetables and gravy - 43-year-old Kimberly generally sticks to a very healthy eating plan and her exercise and fitness regime consists of boxing, Pilates and dance.

Kimberly - who runs the Kimberly Wyatt Dance Academy with her spouse - shared: "With three kids I do cook a lot. I make a lot of eggs and salads- I make a caprese almost every day for me and my husband with prosciutto and avocado and tomatoes.

"My fitness regime includes boxing style classes, Pilates at least three times a week and the Dance Academy four days a week. I love cycling along the canals too. Then there are rehearsals for Don't Cha Disco, so it's pretty non stop movement."

Kimberly is still as passionate about dancing as when she was a child and is grateful for the life it has given her.

She said: "Dance has always been such a huge part of my life and it's taken me all around the world ... be you, be fearless, be authentic, never say 'I can't,' always say 'I'll try.'"
