A WORCESTER woman who is now the star of a reality TV show says her husband wasn't happy with her revealing intimate details of her surgeries on national television.

Natalie Richardson, aged 32, and formerly Natalie Denning, is appearing on Life On Marbs — a constructed reality show based on the lives of people who live in the Spanish resort of Marbella.

The former model and trained dancer, who attended Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College, said her husband, Paul, is "a very private person" and did not want her to sign up for the ITVBe series.

"He doesn't like being in the spotlight or media or anything like that, so he wasn't that keen on me doing it just because he thinks I shouldn't really," she said.

Asked what her husband made of the first episode of the show in which Mrs Richardson referred to herself as Marbie Barbie, she said: "He sort of said that I should not divulge as much information about myself as I do.

But he knows me and he knows what I'm like and I'm very open and honest about everything."

She added that her husband wasn't pleased about her divulging details on one particularly intimate surgery she had.

Asked if doing the show is worth risking her marriage or her husband's happiness, Mrs Richardson said: "We've been together

12 years so we're pretty strong. I don't think anything would risk our marriage, but you've got to do stuff for yourself once in a while. So I think it's fine."

The mother of two girls, aged four and seven, said you cannot put a camera on her and tell her not to be herself because "it won't work".

She has received "lovely" comments since the show aired, but she added that a lot of people have said she has "too much botox".

She said: "I used to be a model so I'm kind of quite used to being in the spotlight. I saw the show as my last chance to get back in to this industry.

"This is what I do anyway with my friends. It is sort of my real life, so I just thought 'Why not? I'm 32. It's the last time I'm going to be able to do anything like this, it's a bit of fun'."
