Francine recently opened up about her plastic surgery regrets to The Sun. “I feel like I’m on a rollercoaster I wish I’d never got on, and now can’t get off,” she said about her 2003 boob job. While it was suggested to swap them out earlier, she waited until 2020 when she experienced swelling in her left breast. “Getting breast implants is not a one-off operation. This is something you have to keep doing to maintain them and now I’m stuck in such a horrible situation.”

2. She Takes Time for Self-Care

Francine takes time out of her busy life to indulge in self-care. “Happiness is when your in a swimming pool!! Had the most amazing few days away and loved using the spa. It's been a while so we all really enjoyed it,” she captioned this post.

3. She Drinks Hot Water with Lemon

In a blog post detailing her morning routine, Francine revealed that she starts her day with a cup of water with lemon. “I often take one to bed with me ready for the morning and then will also get a fresh hot water with lemon once I’m up,” she said.

4. She Exercises

Francine also exercises in the morning. “Now, this doesn’t mean that you have to enroll in 6am spinning classes or endure an intense bout of exercise in the gym first thing in the morning. It’s all about figuring out what form of physical activity that you personally enjoy and that will help push you to get out of bed. This could be going for a walk, doing some yoga in your living room, dancing while you eat your breakfast… whatever floats your boat!” she wrote on her blog.

5. She Eats Breakfast

Francine fuels up in the morning with food. “They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but you should also try and make it one of the most enjoyable. So many of us dismiss a proper morning meal as a waste of time, instead choosing to rush out of the house with an insubstantial cereal bar. However, indulging in a flavorsome breakfast can give your spirits an incredible lift,” she wrote on her blog.
