My kids love Ibiza and we feel committed to it because we keep coming back to the same area. People recognise us in shops now and we have a social life here. We cook at home and have friends around.

I would love to do a cookery show and cookery books. I’m not a professional cook, but I can definitely cook. I know the difference between good and bad cooking. I mean, when I was in ‘Big Brother’ I was the glorified cook of the house, so if I got offered my own show – then why not?
I think that people in general appreciate honesty and not trying to cook something up just to fit a mold that would be beneficial for you. I never made music like that.

Let me tell you a story about when I was growing up in Spain. Many Sundays, we would invite 30, 40, 50 people to the countryside, and my father would make a big paella. He put me in charge of the fire and the ‘stove’ – the rocks that hold the pan. But he wouldn’t let me cook. I got so unbelievably upset.
