Family life has also mellowed Nadine, who is currently very content with her partner Jason Bell and 4-year-old daughter Anaíya. Her other interest is cooking, which she describes as her ‘go-to thing’. As well as indulging in cultural cooking (her favourite cuisines are Indian and Caribbean) to help her relax, Nadine adopts a laid-back approach to life. “My mantra is to live in the moment,” she concluded. “This gives you a sense that nothing is too overwhelming; you just have to deal with what is happening now - you can focus on the next thing SOLO Star when it happens.”
