I can not believe I got through to the semi finals of Masterchef. It was one of the most stressful programmes I have ever been involved with. I didn't ever think I would cry over cooking but I did. My cooking skills have improved immensely and I wouldn't have missed the experience. It gets really gruelling in the next round with more invention tests and cooking on mass. John and Gregg are so serious it makes you very nervous although Gregg did crack a funny line when I Darren and I were cooking the 10 breakfasts. He walked passed and said to me "No one could ever accuse you of having two fried eggs" naughty boy!

Looking forward to Snow White at The Grand Theatre Wolverhampton this year. We have a great cast with my hubby Sam Kane as the Prince, Nicky Evens from Xfactor as the Fairy and the fantastically funny Grumblweeds providing the comedy.

Talk to you soon love Linda x x x

Well I promised to blog more regularly but I haven't. Just become a Tweeter. It is great fun and so instant. I will try to keep in touch on the blog too. We have a new addition to our family. Thumper a miniature lop eared rabbit and he is adorable. He lives in hutch in my son's bedroom. We have to make sure Koko our little sausage dog doesn't get in there when bunny is out running about. Koko would think its an early lunch. x x x

Hi There, God I am bad at this. It is going to be my new years resolution to make entries to my blog more often. Well we had a fabulous Panto season in Llandudno even though we battled the snow most days. My poor little miniature dachshund, Koko had to be carried everywhere as her little tummy was on the cold snow. Back home now and the diary is filling up with work. I am back on Ideal World on 8th Feb shows at 2pm and 8pm and will be starting work on a BBC show on Monday. Our little girl Lucy who is now 14 years old sang last night to a 20.000 strong audience at the O2 Arena last night. She sang "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" for the charity Voice in a Million. She was amazing and I couldn't stop crying. She has the most gorgeous voice. You can watch some of her performances on youtube ( Lucy Kane ). I promise to write again soon.

Bye for now x

Hi there, My creams are nearly ready hooray. I am launching them on Ideal World Shopping Channel on July 28th. I also went to Thorsby Hall in Nottingham this week to film the competition slot for GMTV so look out for that the week commencing 12 July. Its on about 5 times each morning that week. Its a Warners Holiday Hotel and it is breath taking. The staff there we real sports and joined in with the filming. I might even go back for a weekend break with Sam.

I have had a new website made for my photography it will be running very soon at

www.lindalusardiphotography.com. Just to let you know that the Linda Lusardi on face book is NOT me. I have already had a couple of impostors removed but there is yet another. So I apologize to you if any of you have contacted me. I think there should be a law against it. Enjoy the sunshine

Love

Hiya, God I am useless at keeping this up to date. Well I did a tour of Viva Broadway which was songs from the musicals. Then I went off to Switzerland to finalize my new skin care range. It is absolutely fabulous and I can wait to share it with everyone when I start to promote it on Ideal World Shopping Channel next month. We have been given 28th July as our first date. I have been really busy in the photographic studio not only doing my make over days but I did some lovely shots of Anthony Costa and Bradley Walsh last week. I will try not to leave it so long next time. Bye for now x

Hi there, well just finished a brilliant season of Snow White in Northampton. The audiences were really up for it and Lucy (my daughter) loved playing the fairy and Jack (my son) had a great time in the chorus.

Sam and I are about to embark on a tour of one nighters with "Viva Broadway" http://www.showcaseproductions.co.uk/Shows_VivaBroadway.html

It is songs from the musicals and I am looking forward to working with Sam again.

Went to Dancing on Ice last Sunday to support Daniel and Hayley.

She is fantastic and I am sure she is going to win. It was so lovely to see all the pro dancers and judges from the show. I can"t believe I appeared in the show 2 years ago. I don't think I could still skate.
