Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are a certified relationship counselor and have helped celebrity couples as well as worked on Channel 5’s Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, ITV’s The O’Brien Show and the ever popular day time TV show, This Morning debating hot topics and taking live calls from viewers. Tell us about this incredible journey and how it all began?
Ms. Annabelle Knight: I’ve always been interested in relationships and have, for as long as I can remember been in love with love. I used to pour over the ‘Dear Deirdre’ column as a teenager and ponder over what my advice would be. I studied Media Production at university and initially wanted to work behind the camera, however a chance encounter presenting on a shopping channel made me rethink that idea. I took a course at pinewood studios in London to hone my skills and set to work applying for jobs via ‘Starnow’ online. I answered a casting call for a company called lovehoney, an online adult toy retailer. They needed someone to present product explanation videos, I got the job and the rest, as they say is history.
I started writing articles, at first for my own amusement, I put articles up on my website, www.annabelleknight.com and decided that I’d like to turn what I was doing into a career. I contacted a few talent agencies and eventually signed with Danny at Blacksheep and haven’t looked back since. I became a certified couples counselor in 2014 and have had several clients, including some famous faces which was a real boost to my confidence and my credentials. I began working on This Morning and hosted a ‘Beginners Bondage’ segment with Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley which got a lot of attention and also did a few phone ins taking calls from viewers. I’ve been working alongside Rylan for a while now on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, which I absolutely love. The Brother house is fabulous for someone like me, all that body language to analyse and sexual tension to wade through is just fabulous.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have also appeared on Channel 4’s ‘More Sex Please’ and Sky Lifetime’s ‘The Joy of Sex Toys, series one and two. Tell us about your experience of working on these shows? Also, share with us one memorable moment that you still remember.
Ms. Annab
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are world leading media personality, television host, radio host, qualified sex and relationship counselor/expert. How do you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Annabelle Knight: It’s not as fast paced as it appears. I work from home most days writing, either an article for my blog or for a magazine so some days I don’t even get out of my PJ’s. When the TV and radio work comes in then things really pick up. Even though you may be on camera for ten minutes you have to be there for hair and makeup pretty early, plus you have to prepare what you’re going to say and have a rehearsal so ten minutes of air time may equate to five or six hours in the studio.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Annabelle Knight: I’m training to be a personal trainer on the side of what I already do, I love exercise and nutrition and thought I’d try and turn another passion into a job! I work out three, maybe four times a week and try and eat healthily on a daily basis.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What kind of diet do you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Annabelle K
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what do you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Annabelle Knight: I actually suffer from adult acne, so good skin is definitely not in my genes! A healthy balanced diet is really important, so is getting a good night of restful sleep and drinking plenty of water, of course, I must admit that I top all that off with a good foundation! For my hair I use Phyto UK leave in conditioner and swear by it!
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You also have a documentary series ‘Frisky Business’ on Netflix. Tell us more about this endeavor of yours?
Ms. Annabelle Knight: Frisky business was a documentary series based around the daily ins and outs of lovehoney. As a part of lovehoney I was followed by camera and filmed for weeks. I really enjoyed it and would love to be a part of another documentary, it was so much fun and I was amazed at how quickly you get used to the cameras being there.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us about your Top 5 Tips to balance professional and private life?
Ms. Annabelle Knight: There really is only one tip to balance your work and professional life and that’s to take time for yourself. No matter who you are or what you do, you are the most important thing. You need to make sure that you’re mentally and emotionally healthy so you can best tackle all the other bits that life throws at you.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Today, stress has become one of the major contributors to broken relationships. What is your take on that? Also, what advice can you give for couples to cope up with stress?
Ms. Annabelle Knight: Stress is terribly difficult to deal with, however it’s easier when you realize that stress doesn’t actually exist. There’s no difference between anxiety and excitement physiologically, the only difference is how you personally perceive the situation. The old saying a problem shared is a problem halved is so true, talk about your feelings, issues and concerns. Nine times out of ten merely vocalizing what’s wrong makes the issue seem less unmanageable. Talking is the number one piece of advice I give to couples, it’s important to communicate and never make assumptions.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Some mothers find it difficult to balance parent-child relationship and children seem to grow apart once they are teenagers. Provide some Useful Tips for parents to manage this issue?
Ms. Annabelle Knight: Teenagers are a terrifying specie. They’re full of hormones, which can make them unreasonable, irrational and a nightmare to be around. Parents need to give their teen the space they need. Developing at this point is difficult enough, so relieve some of the pressure by taking a step back. Make sure they know you’re there for them and always will be but give them the room to make some mistakes of their own to learn from. If I had a pound for every time my mum had said to me, ‘I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I did.’ Then I’d be rich! But, the fact is that you don’t learn from other peoples mistakes, you learn from your own.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?
