Keeping calm
Spending Christmas away from residence has meant Vogue has obtained all of her geese in a row and can sit up for a relaxed festive interval. “I love everything to do with Christmas so all my presents are bought, wrapped, sent to the right people, packed away,” she says. “All my Christmas decorations have been up a very long time and I’ve even got my Christmas decorations up in Ireland so all is go and organised.

It’s meant to be chaos in your house, it’s meant to be fun and I don’t think you need to be stressed if things aren’t exactly how you want them or if things aren’t perfect. The imperfectness of Christmas makes it perfect.”
Traditions with her children

I go to the same pantomime with my kids and my brother’s kids will be there too because it’s in Ireland. So I’ve kind of carried on that tradition as well and they love it.”
