Pussycat Kim & Model Husband Max \u2013 Dancing, Sky Dining & Saying \u2018No\u2019 To Fast Fashion!<\/p>\n
From the catwalk and studio shoots, to the small and silver screens, this multi-talented Weybridge-based model walks and works with style legends, while his well-known American wife belts out her A-list band\u2019s hits, brings her heels and shakes her booty on stages worldwide.<\/p>\n
Angela Sara West chats with Pussycat Doll-turned-cookery queen Kimberly Wyatt and her award-winning model\/actor\/filmmaker and fitness instructor Max Rogers about their sustainable home and lifestyle in Surrey, their new local dance school, protecting the planet from fast fashion with our celebrity charity catwalk show, and their brand-new luxury outdoor kitchen collection! <\/p>\n <\/strong>On being named \u2018GQ Man for the Season\u2019, high-fashion model Max Rogers accomplished iconic status. Now one of the world\u2019s top male models, making the cover of \u2018GQ Style\u2019 (naked!) back in 2008 became his big break into the fashion industry, and the job where he first met world-famous fashion designer Tom Ford.<\/p>\n \u201cTom is one of the most inspirational people I’ve ever worked with…\u201d Max tells me. \u201cWe named our son Ford Senna after Tom and the late racing driver Ayrton Senna. His given name is \u2018Senna\u2019, as we thought \u2018Senna Ford\u2019 would sound too much like \u2018Centrefold\u2019!\u201d he laughs. \u201cBut Ford is there for him, if he wants to sound a little more American.\u201d<\/p>\n Signed with Storm in London, among other prestigious agencies worldwide, Max has worked with famous photographers Rankin, Mario Testino and Craig McDean, and carried out copious campaigns for big brands, including Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce&Gabbana, Ralph Lauren and bespoke men’s tailor Gieves & Hawkes.<\/p>\n While his wife Kimberly Wyatt is making waves around the world as one-fifth of the supergroup Pussycat Dolls, breaking new barriers promoting dance in schools, or conducting her popular \u2018Bring Your Heels\u2019 empowering dance workout classes at Pineapple Studios, when he\u2019s not looking after their kids, Max is modelling from his Weybridge home, strutting his stuff on the catwalk or striking a pose in commercials for clients. But it doesn\u2019t end there\u2026 multi-talented Max boasts many more strings to his creative bow\u2026 The 6ft 1\u201d blue-eyed supermodel has also been busy being a judge on Tyra Banks\u2019 Lifetime show \u2018Britain\u2019s Next Top Model\u2019 (\u2018BNTM\u2019), having a dynamic influence on the arts, and making his mark as actor, starring not only on TV, but also on the big screen, in movies including Guy Ritchie\u2019s \u2018King Arthur: Legend of the Sword\u2019.<\/p>\n Silver screen credits<\/strong><\/p>\n A figurehead of the dance industry, just like her hubby, accomplished dancer\/singer Kim\u2019s career has also taken off in the film and TV industry, seeing her star in \u2018Starsky & Hutch\u2019 alongside Hollywood heavyweights Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Juliette Lewis, \u2018Be Cool\u2019 with John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn and Danny DeVito, and \u201813 going on 30\u2019 with Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. She also starred in short film \u2018Fallen Dream\u2019 about her dance and experiences in LA, and most recently alongside Luke Goss and Dean Cain in award-winning British producer Amar Adatia\u2019s international film \u2018R.I.A\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cThe heart of me is dance,\u201d she tells me. \u201cEverything I do has always been rooted in dance. The Pussycat Dolls was incredible, but I\u2019m really enjoying this second lease of life as a performer, jumping into acting and taking it on, just as I did as a dancer. It\u2019s been brilliant and I absolutely love it! So, I guess as I\u2019m \u2018maturing\u2019, acting is sort of my go-to\u2026 I can see a real lengthy career in it.\u201d<\/p>\n Kim\u2019s biggest acting success so far is playing Sasha Small in the immensely-popular CBBC comedy drama \u2018Almost Never\u2019, following the ups and downs of boyband The Wonderland. \u201cWe recently completed series 3 and it\u2019s such a successful show, it looks like it\u2019s going to America!\u201d<\/p>\n A collaborative creative couple<\/strong><\/p>\n Model-of-17-years Max, meanwhile, is also known for his inspiring innovations BEHIND the lens, producing short films and music videos which have seen him recognised by the ‘Prestige Film Awards’. Fusing his unique style perspective, fashion heavily influences his artistic directorial style film forays when bringing his own writing to life, showcasing his extraordinary storytelling and character development through his exceptional cinematography.<\/p>\n He says his highly-skilful other half is a huge inspiration to him. \u201cKimberly is my muse\u2026\u201d he reveals. \u201cWhen I met her, she showed me just how much work and dedication it takes to truly excel at something. I\u2019ve never seen a work ethic like it, and her level of talent is a joy to witness and work with.\u201d<\/p>\n As exceptionally-creative people, self-described \u201cmodel-with-side-hustles\u201d Max says the pair often collaborate on impromptu projects. \u201cIf we\u2019re left with enough time to chat, the chances are something creative will turn up. At the moment, there\u2019s less time with the kids being so young, but we\u2019ve still managed a few ventures, including a project called \u2018C-section To Pussycat Doll\u2019, documenting Kim\u2019s quick return to stage with The Dolls after having a caesarean. Look out for the hashtag #C2PCD!\u201d<\/p>\n They\u2019re especially proud of one particularly-successful joint project, which clinched the coveted ‘Prestige Short Film-Gold Awards’. \u201cOur short film \u2018Tea For Two\u2019 was shown at the Aesthetica Short Film Festival and borne out of us just chatting on holiday in Tuscany!\u201d Max enthuses. \u201cI\u2019m proud of what we have done so far because it involves so much of who we are as a couple, in terms of dance, fitness, production and, of course, our lives as parents.\u201d<\/p>\n Max meets Kim \u2013 celebrated creatives converge\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Max and Kim\u2019s paths first crossed at \u2018The Clothes Show Live\u2019 in Birmingham in 2011. Two years later, Max popped the question and they married the following Feb, with their first child born that December. Putting fame partly on hold to raise a family, the following years saw not only a sister for Willow when Maple made her appearance, but Kim\u2019s transition from dancing\u2019n\u2019singing sensation to domestic goddess, juggling her multi-faceted career in the entertainment world with family life, with much support from her model husband Max.<\/p>\n How does she deal with the \u2018juggle struggle\u2019\u2019? \u201cDance kinda helps\u2026 by creating a space that\u2019s just for me to just connect with music and dance, and step away from motherhood for a minute and connect to me as a woman is so important,\u201d she explains. \u201cI\u2019ve met so many women who fall into that \u2018trap\u2019 of the constant caring for the needs of your children, and you do kind of leave yourself behind if you\u2019re not careful. Dance helps keep you in tune and in touch with yourself as a human, as a woman. You can bring what you discover in the studio into your everyday life, and I feel it gives you more confidence as a mum, as well as the ability to enjoy it that much more.\u201d<\/p>\n A sustainable Surrey home<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2016, the globally-famous pair moved out of the big smoke to the picturesque riverside town of Weybridge here in Surrey. Home to many a well-heeled celebrity, the affluent area has historically been home to a veritable \u2018Who\u2019s Who\u2019 of A-list names.<\/p>\n \u201cWith no preference on where would live, we ended up in such a lovely part of the world!\u201d Max enthuses. \u201cThe great thing about Weybridge\/Addlestone is that we\u2019re still so connected to the capital, but with the bonus of less traffic and a slightly slower, family-friendly way of life in Surrey.\u201d<\/p>\n A Model Husband to His Purrrfect Pussycat Doll Wife!<\/strong><\/p>\n Now both models with Storm, the couple keeps the planet very much in mind when it comes to life at home, with a common goal to one day accomplish converting their abode into a completely sustainable home. \u201cWe\u2019re attempting to make our house as sustainable as possible, making changes where we can be more mindful of our consumption, moving towards solar energy, growing our own food and heat recovery, so no energy is wasted,\u201d Max explains.<\/p>\n How are they decorating and furnishing their stylish eco abode? \u201cOur taste is quite eclectic. We\u2019re lucky to live in such a characterful home and it seems that, whatever we throw at it in terms of colour, design or style seems to work\u2026 so far! We have a lot of fun with it. Kim has her theatre curtains in the entry way, I have my Union Jack Smeg fridge, and we had a TV made that looks like a something out of a 50\u2019s cartoon for the kids\u2019 playroom.\u201d<\/p>\n Rubbing shoulders with rock stars & racing drivers \u2013 all par for the course!<\/p>\n Every rock star worth their salt, from The Beatles\u2019 John Lennon, Sir Tom Jones and Sir Cliff Richard, to Sir Elton John and The Rolling Stones\u2019 Ronnie Wood, along with actress Kate Winslet, F1 racing legend Jenson Button and golf legend Sir Nick Faldo, has lived in Weybridge.<\/p>\n \u201cI used to play golf a lot as a kid,\u201d says Max. \u201cI was half decent, and started playing again in the middle of during lockdown. We play at Foxhills in Chertsey and Hoebridge in Woking quite a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFoxhills is our local \u2018spot\u2019,\u201d Kim reveals. \u201cI love taking our kids to dance classes there, and it\u2019s where we hang out with friends.\u201d \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a great place to sit and be\u2026\u201d adds Max.<\/p>\n Weybridge boasts the world\u2019s first purpose-built motor racing circuit at Brooklands, another preferred pitstop for the pair. \u201cMy dad was a racing driver (Formula 4) and I grew up watching racing,\u201d says Max. \u201cSo, Brooklands was one of our first stops when we moved here. Ayrton Senna\u2019s car is there, and we named our son after him, so it\u2019s almost like Brooklands drew us to the area as much as anything else. We love it there!\u201d<\/p>\n Picture-perfect places around the county provide wonderful walking grounds for the family. \u201cPainshill Park in Cobham is a favourite with the kids, and Virginia Water a favourite with the wife, but there\u2019s also a lovely (almost secret) network of canals between Weybridge and Addlestone that are perfect for walking the dog, which is my relaxation,\u201d Max divulges. \u201cI walked the dog every day during lockdowns, because amongst all of the mayhem, a walk round the Surrey canals, followed by the school run, is the best way to keep things normal!\u201d<\/p>\n Don\u2019tcha Dance Drills<\/strong><\/p>\n Filming new content for their Move Home Studio marketplace upped the tempo during lockdown, offering online dance classes in everything from ballroom, cha cha cha and musical theatre, to bodyweight fitness, mummy-to-be-workouts, yoga and booty band workouts from their impressive studio\/fitness area at their attractive abode. Finished last year, the functional building sports a stripped-back, exposed-design concept, with all features and details designed to be structurally integral, allowing form to follow function.<\/p>\n \u201cKim and I dedicate most of our lives to fitness and, in her case, dance as well, so it seemed sensible to dedicate a space to that in our home. It\u2019s our version of the home office!\u201d says Max. \u201cIt\u2019s where we spend three hours of our day working things out, whether that be photography, fitness or dance.\u201d<\/p>\n Kim also spent lockdown sharpening her photography skills, taking pics of her model hubby Max for his work. \u201cWe sort of repurposed skills that we already had,\u201d Max explains. \u201c#modellingfromhome was a hashtag that I used\u2026 and working form home while looking after the kids was a creative endeavour in itself! But we managed to do quite a good job of it, and shot the Reiss and Ted Baker campaigns all during lockdown\u2026 quite the challenge, but we got through it!\u201d<\/p>\n Max\u2019s Method<\/strong><\/p>\n Max also works as a fitness coach, for which he has created a unique blend of effective exercises, combining calisthenics and bodyweight training with Pilates. \u201cThe bodyweight training thing happened very organically,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt\u2019s always been part of my life as a model to keep healthy and ready for work, which led to a lot of people asking me for help with their training. Modelling affords you a lot of spare time, particularly off-season, so I took some of that time to get officially qualified as a Pilates coach and developed my bodyweight training method from there.\u201d<\/p>\n Max\u2019s \u2018Method\u2019 matches their sustainable outlook on life. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t require lots of stuff\/equipment, and is tailored to each individual\u2019s capability, maximising it for anyone and everyone,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe philosophy is that it doesn\u2019t matter what your body looks like, only what it can do. I realised as a model that I was so focused on what my body looked like that training became boring and thankless. So, whether your goal is to execute a human flag, or simply sleep through the night without back pain, my method figures that out for you.\u201d<\/p>\n Another lockdown launch saw Max create new online \u2018Pilates with Max\u2019 masterclasses, so you can now tone your limbs with pilates from a pro. \u201cThese lessons offer a combination of my experience as a teacher of Pilates, a student of Calisthenics and a lifetime as a model, all delivered online and on demand as a one-off purchase or subscription,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Online dance inspo She says she was \u201csuper excited\u201d to offer her \u2018Bring Your Heels\u2019 dance classes to this brand-new platform. \u201cI\u2019ve taught dance all over the world, even before I was a Pussycat Doll. And over the years, I\u2019ve developed these classes along with my increasing level experience, with regards the Pussycat Dolls and being a judge on \u2018Got to Dance\u2019 and working with The Youth Sport Trust and children and the school\u2019s curriculum in the UK, which was a huge project. And all that knowledge and experience goes into my classes. I\u2019ve also developed a method that means that no matter what level you are, from beginners with two left feet to other Pussycat Dolls, I\u2019ve taught all ages. Ashley, a fellow Pussycat Doll, is a supreme-level dancer and has also taught with me, and EVERYONE, even non-dancers, gets something out of it due to the method I have devised.\u201d<\/p>\n She champions her commercial \u2018Heels\u2019 classes as her \u2018flagship\u2019 styles with her method, because they relate most closely to her Dolls\u2019 classes, but with firm foundations in ballet, Kim also teaches a contemporary class, and beginners and young kids, through tap and other styles.<\/p>\n Last year, both Kim and Max took their classes online with the Move Home Studio. \u201cYou can still pick up classes from Kim teaching her Dance Drills, the fundamentals needed to dance commercially, as well as original choreography from the Pussycat Dolls and other tracks, too,\u201d Max reveals. \u201cThat\u2019s something that we plan to continue online as the world reopens.\u201d<\/p>\n Through lockdown, it\u2019s what kept me connected to people around the world, whether dancing on Instagram Live or TikTok, joining forces with Marlon from Flawless\u2026 It was an incredible freedom of space and way to stay connected with the next generation of dancers. And I just recently did a Clubhouse with my good friend Kris from Flawless,\u201d says Kim.<\/p>\n Partnering with other pros, you can also join musical superstar Layton Williams (\u2018Jamie\u2019 in the eponymous show) and his \u2018pros from the shows\u2019 for everything from ballet classes to contemporary dance, with street dance by Flawless and Body Boffins\u2019 nutrition. You name it, Max and Kim offer it, helping you to get\u2019cha heart pumping to the beat!<\/p>\n Offering children\u2019s classes, too, it looks like ultra-flexible dancer Kim\u2019s own kids are following in her flawless footsteps. \u201cOur girls and their school friends often join in with my Insta-live dance workouts!\u201d<\/p>\n Dancing queen \u2013 making it in La La Land\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Dancing from the tender age of seven, at 14, talented teen Kimberly Wyatt earned scholarships to the world-renowned Joffrey Ballet and Steps on Broadway Dance Center in New York. \u201cDance is a huge passion and gave me confidence as a child, through choreography, tricks, turns, leaps, jumps\u2026 I could really feel a sense of accomplishment and that made me feel good about myself, and continues to today,\u201d she reveals.<\/p>\n A move to Los Angeles to pursue a dancing career in 2001 soon saw her busting her moves in the Black Eyed Peas\u2019 video \u2018Shut Up\u2019. Her unique talent as both a dancer and singer saw her spotted by Robin Antin, who teamed Kim up with Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton to create an American burlesque dance troupe, before taking The Pussycat Dolls and their killer dance moves mainstream as a pop group and dance ensemble. The spirited girl group went on to achieve worldwide fame as one of the most successful girl bands in history\u2026<\/p>\n Doll Domination!<\/strong><\/p>\n Exploding onto the pop scene, their debut single \u2018Sway\u2019 featured on the soundtrack of the 2004 film \u2018Shall We Dance\u2019, starring Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez and Susan Sarandon, and they subsequently rolled out hit after hit from their prodigious album \u2018PCD\u2019, enjoying a string of no.1 singles from the debut album.<\/p>\n Followed by a second successful toe-tapping album, \u2018Doll Domination\u2019, the Grammy-nominated girl group racked up no fewer than 11 no.1 singles and two multi-platinum albums, selling a staggering 15 million albums and 40 million singles worldwide, making them one of the biggest-selling girl groups of all time.<\/p>\n Together, they toured the planet, selling out large arenas and stadiums and teaming up with superstar singers Rihanna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, and performing to the late Duke of Edinburgh at the Royal Variety Performance, along the way. The industrious pop stars have won prestigious awards aplenty, including ‘Best Dance Video’ for their smash hit \u2018Buttons\u2019 featuring Snoop Dogg, and ‘Best Dancing in a Video’ for \u2018When I Grow Up\u2019 at the MTV Video Music Awards.<\/p>\n Got To Dance!<\/strong><\/p>\n Having fully disbanded in 2010, Kim pursued a plethora of solo projects. Now known for THAT standing overhead leg-split and iconic tilt, her first solo single handed her a no.5 hit, and she co-wrote\/produced a critically-acclaimed album with her second recording group, Her Majesty and the Wolves.<\/p>\n Featuring on Aggro Santos\u2019 song \u2018Candy\u2019, creating another UK Top 5 hit, she also became head judge on the hit Sky One show \u2018Got to Dance\u2019, alongside Davina McCall, Ashley Banjo and Adam Garcia. With a sprinkling of other TV appearances, including ITV’s \u2018Give a Pet a Home\u2019, hosted by Surrey\u2019s Amanda Holden in collaboration with the RSPCA, alongside another Surreyite, singer\/actor\/TV presenter Peter Andre, Kim also became the lead judge for CBBC\u2019s flagship dance show \u2018Taking the Next Step\u2019, and has starred on Keith Lemon\u2019s \u2018Celebrity Juice\u2019, alongside Spice Girl Mel B, Howard Donald, Jay McGuiness and fellow Surrey resident Kimberley Walsh.<\/p>\n Kim\u2019s Well-Fit campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n The super-flexible Pussycat Doll not only keeps herself on tip-top form through dance, but by practising yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and loves a run alongside the river nearby. Devoted to changing young people\u2019s lives through dance, Kim has played her part in promoting health and wellbeing in schools through dance.<\/p>\n In her role as an ambassador for the Youth Sport Trust, she works relentlessly to make dance compulsory every day in primary schools with her Well-Fit campaign, a unique initiative to use PE and school sport to enhance and empower schoolchildren through dance and fitness. She\u2019s also an ambassador for the Bloch Dance World Cup, the greatest all-genre dance competition in the world for children and young adults.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, as a teacher, being able to give back and help others through dance, helping them find confidence through movement and become comfortable in their own space and in their own body has become really important work to me. So if I\u2019m not acting, performing or on tour with the Pussycat Dolls, if I have any downtime, then I love connecting with the next generation of dancers. Throughout lockdown, I\u2019ve been doing lots of Zoom classes and connecting to dance studios and trying to fan the flames of their fire and passion for dance, so that we\u2019re able to get back to the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n Bring your heels\u2026 The power of dance!<\/strong><\/p>\n As a mum, she says dance is what keeps her connected to her \u201csassier, sexier self\u201d. \u201cIt gives me that lease of life to just live in the moment, connect with the music, and just step away from the everyday routine of motherhood,\u201d she reveals. \u201dI feel like I\u2019ve got so much to give\u2026 whether it\u2019s the philosophy, the empowerment message, the understanding of what it means to dance in heels, kind of tackling an idea of what sexy is and what is means, and the fact that you don\u2019t have to give it away. I love being able to plant seeds that I\u2019ve seen grow within so many dancers throughout this country.\u201d<\/p>\n She says she enjoys having a \u201creal purpose\u201d. \u201cDance is a huge vehicle that allows me to connect and help and inspire, and connect with women who aren\u2019t necessarily dancers but love the Bring Your Heels message, using dance as a tool to help them discover their most authentic empowered selves, so that they can bring that within their everyday lives.\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s Dance\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n The Philanthropic Pussycat Doll starred in \u2018Let’s Dance\u2019 for Comic Relief and says she had a \u201ctruly life-changing experience\u201d on her charity trip to Ghana, where she showed schoolchildren new dance moves and found out how the charity\u2019s fundraising\u2019s changing children\u2019s lives and building brighter futures for kids across Africa, leading to her work with the Youth Sports Trust (YTS).<\/p>\n \u201cI was so honoured to be chosen to be gifted with the Ghana experience,\u201d she says. \u201cBecause it was really eye opening\u2026 What connected us was dance, and that inclusivity is really quite brilliant. So, bringing that back to UK schools and joining forces with the YTS to bring dance to primary and secondary schools, it\u2019s created new ways of teaching and educating emotional awareness and wellbeing, again, using dance as the tool to help inspire and increase inclusivity.\u201d<\/p>\n She recently teamed up with the charity The Little Princess Trust. \u201cSeeing kids with cancer fighting for their lives, and being able to give them the gift of a real hair wig, just gives them that little boost of confidence to tap into their sort of warrior side so they can fight the fight of their lives in that moment,\u201d she says. \u201cFor me, hair is a big thing that gives me confidence, allowing me to step on stage with the Mohawk and become something, like a fighter, a warrior. To bring a little bit of light into their life, and create awareness and fund the brilliant work that The Little Princess Trust do (they\u2019re such a lovely organisation, run with heart) is pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n Come dancing with Kim\u2026 in Surrey!<\/strong><\/p>\n Locally, Kim and Max have taught a couple of pilot classes for mums at the school. \u201cAnd there are a few kids locally who have some REAL talent, so I\u2019ve been teaching them. We\u2019re open to all at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n With a desire to start teaching close to home, Kim\u2019s planning to open a new Surrey dance school on site. \u201cIt\u2019s nearly finished!\u201d she reveals. \u201cI\u2019m SO excited!<\/p>\n Max says their new studio is an all-singing-all-dancing multipurpose space. \u201cJust being in there will create new ventures and new things that will come out of it, not to mention the stuff that we already do\u2026 Kim\u2019s Bring Your Heels method, the classes we deliver online, my fitness classes\u2026 Potentially, if we\u2019re still modelling from home for a little longer, it will become a photo studio, too, so we\u2019re looking forward to that and what happens there.\u201d<\/p>\n Turning the tool shed into a cool new dance studio, Max and his Sky Dining (see below) team\u2019s master craftsmen have been busy knocking down walls for another development, documenting the drama as they go. \u201cWe\u2019ve used entirely-reclaimed materials to build a little seating area, and used reclaimed windows and doors. We\u2019re so excited to see what develops from it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have the space and the method produced,\u201d Max explains. \u201cKim usually tours the country with her \u2018Bring Your Heels\u2019 method, and dance is such a great way to connect to your local community as well, so we\u2019re really hoping to push that and create a connection to our local community and the people around us, and spread Kim\u2019s love of dance from a local perspective. It would be fantastic if that developed into a local school, based on everything that we\u2019re already doing.\u201d<\/p>\n Going local<\/strong><\/p>\n With an all-singing-all-dancing studio coming to our county soon, Surreyites will shortly be taking their first steps to dance success, or improving their level with the ultimate pro dancer. \u201cWith our studio being built at home, we can take a few students, and there are few locations in the area, Foxhills being one of them, with a beautiful studio where we\u2019d like to start teaching regularly, too. It\u2019s really about getting the community together, and, perhaps uncovering some untapped dance talent, but also to just get people moving and exercising for their wellbeing, their body, their mind through the power of dance,\u201d says Kim.<\/p>\n \u201cWhich brings it all back to how and why Kim began dancing in the first place,\u201d adds Max. \u201cIt really was her therapy, as much as her creative expression. We want to just share that with as many people as possible. We\u2019ve been around the world doing it, but are yet to meet people in our local area and share it there. Business-wise as well, it makes sense for us, with three kids, to do as much as possible as locally as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n The overall method is called Kim\u2019s \u2018Bring Your Heel\u2019s method. \u201cIronically, heels are optional for those classes, because I teach kids as young as eight!\u201d laughs Kim. \u201cBut that class prepares you for a potential career dancing in heels, and it\u2019s also just good fun\u2026 from hen do\u2019s to birthday parties, to pro classes and studios\u2026 everyone can take something from it.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimberly Wyatt Dance is a brand which will teach all manner of dance styles. \u201cAnd to everybody we can possibly meet! I\u2019ve even taught an old folks\u2019 home over Zoom, and they were all sat in their chairs doing various bits\u2019n\u2019pieces, and again, it\u2019s a similar method that I would teach to the actual pros.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible thing that Kim\u2019s managed to put together,\u201d beams Max. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what we want to share in the area from now on, along with Sky Dining\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n A Celebrity Masterchef<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s not hard to see how Sky Dining came about\u2026 The couple love to cook at home, and always \u201cshop local\u201d when sourcing ingredients. \u201cAnother selling point of the area was moving in next to Crockford Bridge farm, which has a pick-your-own field and incredible farm shop,\u201d says Max. \u201cIt gives a great sense of community, and is brilliant for teaching the kids where their food comes from. The produce is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Cooking up a storm on our screens in 2015, his capable spouse clinched THE coveted cookery title when her exceptional culinary skills impressed judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode and won the hearts of the British public, seeing Kim crowned \u2018Celebrity Masterchef Champion\u2019, beating fellow contestants Sam Nixon, Rylan Clark and Scott Maslen to the sought-after trophy.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2019Masterchef\u2019 was my kitchen starter kit!,\u201d Kim reveals. \u201cI\u2019d just had our first child and had no kitchen confidence, and went on to learn as much as I could. I threw myself into it and am so thankful that I did because I\u2019m now able to make three meals a day for the kids and host and create really lovely meals and flavours. Cooking\u2019s become a real passion since.\u201d<\/p>\n Sky Dining \u2013 creating year-round outdoor living From patios with fire pits or poolside bars, to traditional British BBQ areas or cool outdoor wine caves, Kim & Max can model your perfect space, giving you that special outdoor area to gather with family and friends. Themed areas, such as a Tuscan-style pizza oven zone, a Cornwall-style surf shack for seafood straight-off-the-grate, or an adventurous Argentinian grill, can incorporate a fresh herb garden as part of the design for straight-to-plate flavours, or treat yourself to a classy outdoor cocktail bar!<\/p>\n Whether you want a ground-breaking at-home bar\u2019n\u2019grill area to host with holiday vibes, a place for the man in your life to watch sport with his mates, or an intimate outdoor cinema experience, whatever your wish list, let your imagination run wild with Max, \u2018Celebrity Masterchef\u2019 champ Kim and their expert team\u2019s innovative ideas and beautiful bespoke builds. Their high-end craftsmanship, coupled with inventive ideas, ensures everything you need for a fully-operational kitchen is incorporated in your outdoor kitchen design.<\/p>\n Kim famously showcased her Kansas family BBQ rub on TV. \u201cDoing \u2018Masterchef\u2019 helped me connect to the things that I loved growing up in the Mid-West of America, which was all about barbeques\u2026 barbeques are EVERYTHING… Sundays were all about having barbecues and tailgating for the football games and having your chillies, your barbeque sauces and your briskets and all these lovely foods. Now, barbeques have become a real focus within OUR family, and I\u2019ve got my secret barbeque rub recipe, that I\u2019d like to share with people when the time is right!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd out of that we\u2019ve developed Sky Dining!\u201d Max divulges. \u201cThat was kind of the seed of it all, showing people how that outside lifestyle that Kim loved as a kid can be achieved in THIS country. We can also put a roof on it, just in case! But there\u2019s no reason why we can\u2019t enjoy that same barbeque culture that Kim grew up with here. And that\u2019s the basis of Sky Dining.\u201d<\/p>\n Not just for spring and summer dining, covered outdoor entertainment areas allow you to offer outdoor socials and cook up culinary experiences on tap all-year-round, while the kids play happily in the home-pub garden, or dedicated play area.<\/p>\n Max can maximise your outdoor space and unlock its potential. \u201cWe can make the most of an uninspiring area by transforming an unused corner of your garden into a gorgeous, functional space,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n When day turns to dusk, Sky Dining\u2019s clever lighting designs can create a cosy alfresco atmosphere. Adding infinite value to your life at home, Sky Dining\u2019s stylish designs guarantee a stunning space to entertain. For tasteful talk-of-the-town summer\/autumn\/winter\/spring socials, get set to party and stay in to dine out!<\/p>\n With Max and Kim\u2019s sustainability ethos at its heart, their brand-new business\u2019s homely handmade smokers are made locally from reclaimed materials as part of their signature Kansas City Grill package, creating an enviable centre piece for your original outdoor kitchen, complete with the flavours of an striking Kansas City-style smoker.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce the studio\u2019s fully finished, we\u2019ve got another corner earmarked for our Kansas City barbecue grill by Sky Dining,\u201d adds Max. \u201cSo, hopefully, by the end of the summer we might be fully functional and broadcasting our first Sky Dining barbeques from our house via Instagram @skydininguk\u2026 Check it out!\u201d<\/p>\n Eco-friendly fashion<\/strong><\/p>\n From their fervour for food to their passion for fashion, with \u2018fast fashion\u2019 the planet\u2019s second worst polluter, eco-conscious models Max and Kim make a stand against it whenever they can.<\/p>\n \u201cThe impact of the disposable nature of fashion cannot be underestimated,\u201d says Max. \u201cIt\u2019s an environmental, economic and human rights disaster, which has been expertly covered up by huge marketing budgets.\u201d<\/p>\n With young people aspiring to those in the public eye, heavily influenced by their image, the fash pack need to slow down their consumption of clothes, and Kim and Max are calling on others in the spotlight to be seen wearing the same outfits more than once, and encourage their fashionista fans and followers to do the same.<\/p>\n \u201cFast fashion is a HUGE problem,\u201d says Kim. \u201cIt\u2019s time to make a stand to encourage people to love and support pre-loved vintage clothes. You have a real relationship with your wardrobe, and you need to buy clothes to wear at least 30 times, because we need to cut down the amount of clothes that we\u2019re sending to landfill. I feel the pressure of being in a different outfit every day, and I\u2019ve kind of taken a step back against that. With the slowdown of the world over the past year-and-a-half, it\u2019s time to take real measures, to lead by example, wear clothes that you love and have an emotional relationship with. For me, it\u2019s about raising that awareness and stepping up, being able to wear the same jacket twice, maybe get on Insta and shout about it, like, \u2018I love my clothes and I\u2019m gonna wear everything in my wardrobe way more than once!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Prince Charles and his trend-setting daughter-in-law Kate Middleton are also setting an examples when it comes to clothes, wearing the same garments years apart. By leading by example, hopefully those who love fashion can do the same. Another strong message Max and Kim are keen to promote is renting designer clothing for a day or night out, as recently demonstrated by the PM\u2019s new wife, Carrie Johnson.<\/p>\n \u201cIt makes perfect sense,\u201d says Max. \u201cWearing items once and then having them take up space in your life for the rest of it, makes no sense compared to renting something that beautiful. And going down the rental route, you can wear something out of your price range, which you couldn\u2019t afford to buy, so you end up expressing yourself more.\u201d<\/p>\n As for kids\u2019 clothing, \u201cI LOVE a hand-me-down!\u201d says Kim. \u201cI grew up with them\u2026 my big sister was my hero when it came to clothes, and now, as a mum of three, hand-me-downs are everything! And when your kids have finished with them, Asda offers a take-back scheme, which is brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n Along with their role as ambassadors for Cool Earth, the eco-friendly husband and wife are ambassadors and sustainability advisors for George at Asda, which recently found that we don\u2019t wear a whopping 90% of the clothes in our wardrobes.<\/p>\n For the past decade, the creative duo\u2019s also acted as ambassadors for the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF). Modelling green designs, they\u2019ve helped spread the message that style doesn\u2019t have to cost the earth. \u201cI recognise that it is, ultimately, my job to sell clothes and, hopefully, this inspires people to buy clothes ethically,\u201d Max explains. \u201cThis experience also inspired my #styletakestime InstaTV series.\u201d<\/p>\n As a longstanding advocate of eco living, he says we can all help to save the planet. \u201cAs consumers, we can all vote with our wallets on this issue and ensure that if we\u2019re buying clothes (or anything else for that matter) we\u2019re buying to last. It\u2019s better to buy one item for \u00a3100 which lasts 10 years, than 10 items for \u00a310 that each only last one year.\u201d He says this is an attitude which helps develop a wardrobe that makes far more of a style statement. \u201cBuying sustainably is about who you are as a person. True style takes time to develop and reflects who we are as people much more thoroughly.\u201d<\/p>\n The public is finally starting to follow suit and becoming conscious when it comes to buying clothes. \u201cI respect the fact that people want to express themselves stylistically, which often involves buying clothes, but with pre-loved vintage and upcycling, you really can express yourself, without buying box-fresh outfits every single time,\u201d he says. \u201cPersonally, I think that\u2019s an expression of MORE style, than just buying something straight from a mannequin.\u201d With big names including Cate Blanchett and Joaquin Phoenix joining the anti-throwaway fashion movement, sustainability is still very much a buzzword, with people becoming more conscious of the fact that fast fashion – and wearing an outfit just once for Instagram \u2013 is detrimental to the environment.<\/p>\n Playing their part in protecting the planet, the environmentally-conscious couple has also collaborated on a global eco campaign for Cool Earth (@coolearthaction), a charity working with rainforest villages to help halt deforestation and climate change. \u201cIt was a privilege to work with Cool Earth and Vivienne Westwood,\u201d says Max. \u201cThe work they do is very effective and makes a lot of sense.\u201d<\/p>\n Say \u2018no\u2019 to fast fashion!<\/strong><\/p>\n The Surrey power couple recently rocked a sustainable fashion shoot that I arranged with my outstanding photographer Earl (Stephen Santos @wackpaper17photography) and superb Surrey-based London Fashion Week designer V from Vz Perfection (@vzperfection), who has worked with Cool Earth\u2019s Patron, the one-and-only Vivienne Westwood.<\/p>\n Kicking off the promo for a star-studded celebrity LFW charity show that I am organising at Surrey\u2019s stunning Horsley De Vere Estate (www.devere.co.uk\/horsley-estate) Kim and Max had an absolute ball at this beautiful venue, which featured its famous turrets in \u2018The Crown\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had a great time!\u201d says Max. \u201cIt was really lovely\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI LOVED doing this shoot!\u201d adds Kim. \u201cI love living in Surrey and discovering gorgeous places like this in Horsley! What a gem\u2026 \u00a0just dripping in elegance and history!\u201d<\/p>\n V reworked her famous Dragonflies showstopper dress, which saw out LFW SS2020, to make it sustainable for our shoot, showcased exquisitely by Kim in Earl\u2019s mind-blowing photos.<\/p>\n Max sported a pop of purple after V reworked a sumptuous velvet jacket, now also adorned with her signature Dragonfly design to complement the jaw-dropping dazzling Dragonflies dress on Kim. V also mixed black denim with tweed for a second striking jacket, before Kim jumped up to dance in V\u2019s gorgeous upcycled blue silk dress from her ‘Colours of Life’ collection last year.<\/p>\n Sustainable vintage-loving designer V cares deeply about her products\u2019 provenance and the issues surrounding fast fashion. For her fantastic new collection, she is also cleverly upcycling ballgowns with modern twists and turns, transforming a couple of them into jumpsuits to make them sustainable, all to be showcased at our star-studded charity show in September.<\/p>\n Going green with garments is \u2018de rigeur\u2019, seeing recycling and repurposing very much in vogue. Upcycling garments is BIG news, it\u2019s the way forward, a new way of creating, being economical, and saving the environment at the same time. With not one of her garments mass produced, they\u2019re all one-off bespoke pieces made in the UK by highly-skilled British craftspeople.<\/p>\n Kim and Max also showcased several other sustainable Surrey-based brands and boutiques at our ethical shoot, including Nanushka (stocked at Bernard Boutique, Esher and Gigi Boutique Haslemere), along with Hampton Court\u2019s Paradise Boutique, which sells carefully-curated global fashion brands, selected not only for their design, quality and \u2018en-pointe\u2019 status, but also for their sustainability, with supply chain and work ethics at the forefront of each brand\u2019s ethos. Elegant, stylish and fabulous, their unique quality pieces cater for different budgets and age ranges, from 30\u2019s to 70\u2019s, at great price points.<\/p>\n Kim flaunted a flowy leopard-print skirt and blouse by Scotch & Soda for our outdoor shoot, specially selected and styled as the perfect outfit for a Pussycat doll by Helen at Paradise Boutique. Responsible fashion brand Scotch & Soda works with only factories and manufacturers using stringent environmental policies, and where good working conditions are guaranteed.<\/p>\n \u201cV\u2019s Dragonflies dress is incredible… Thanks for introducing to me to this beautiful historical building, Angela!\u201d says Kim. Thank you for having us \u2013 and we look forward to supporting the show!\u201d<\/p>\n A sustainable Surrey charity catwalk show Our forthcoming celebrity catwalk show with Vz Perfection in aid of Cool Earth already has big names on board supporting our essential #saynotofastfashion message.<\/p>\n A sensational silent auction on the night will see bidding on glittering star experiences plus products from carefully-curated sustainable Surrey business. From a one-to-one dance class with Pussycat Doll Kim, and a round of golf with model Max, to afternoon tea with Purley-based A Place in the Sun presenter Laura Hamilton at her deli & coffee shop Lord Roberts on The Green, and sustainable premium gin tasting on Silent Pool\u2019s terrace overlooking the famous pool in the Surrey Hills, some super VIP experiences are for grabs. \u00a0De Vere hotels are kindly donating a two-night stay at any of their astounding venues, while Cobham-based TV star Dr Esho, Reigate\u2019s Sicilian wine makers Veeno, Cheam-based The Lavender Avenue Company and Surrey-wide Korpi Forest School are among the other brilliant brands offering specially-selected items and VIP experiences, all in aid of charity.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, V will donate 10% of the takings of any sales of her magnificent Vz Perfection garments on the night to Cool Earth.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t Rock the Boat!<\/strong><\/p>\n All at sea filming afloat in lockdown last year, powerhouse of a PCD Kim was among the famous faces, including Fleur East, Guildford-born Jodie Kidd and gold medal-winning cyclist Victoria Pendleton, battling it out by rowing the entire length of Britain, from Cornwall to Scotland, in ITV’s gruelling celebrity challenge \u2018Don’t Rock the Boat\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d wanted to try rowing ever since meeting Sir Redgrave when I was doing \u2018The Jump\u2019,\u201d says Kim. \u201cBut it was BRUTAL\u2026 rowing for over 36 hours, being seasick, rowing two hours on, two hours off, through the day and night, was UNREAL.\u201d<\/p>\n She says rowing with Surrey-born James Cracknell was \u201ca game changer!\u201d and describes fellow skipper, Olympic Gold medallist Denise Lewis, as an \u201cabsolute legend.\u201d \u201cAs the lockdowns were happening and the everyday struggle of trying to stay excited about the juggle struggle of motherhood, being in that rowing seat and rowing through the blisters, the pain, the wanting to give up and just continuing to push, knowing that you\u2019re not gonna give up on yourself, it taught me a lot. It helped tap in to that mental and physical resilience that was always in there, but I think I just needed another reboot.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd to have really lived it with the most amazing woman, Denise Lewis, who\u2019s another amazing athlete but also a mum, together we had so many hours in the middle of the night of just being like, \u2018Wow, this is pretty epic!\u2019, and just being able to look on the fact that we are women, we are mums, but look at us, to still be able to throw down and just revel in the fact that it\u2019s important to keep testing yourself throughout your life, and keep having adventures, and keep finding that spark and zest for the everyday!\u201d<\/p>\n Backstage breastfeeding<\/strong><\/p>\n When baby Senna arrived on the scene in October 2019, model Max and his Missouri-born pop star wife were over the moon to become a family of five. \u201cHe\u2019s a good lad,\u201d says proud dad Max. \u201cHe had quite the start in life; being breastfed in The Pussycat Dolls\u2019 rehearsal room and kicking around on his playmat in the corner of photo studios, but he\u2019s remarkably settled and seems to love his varied environment. His sisters, Maple and Willow, love him as well, which helps!\u201d Back with a bang in November 2019, just over a month after giving birth, Kimberly reformed with fellow Dolls Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta, back on form shortly after welcoming baby Senna to the brood.<\/p>\n Alongside the rest of her American pop\/R&B girl group and dance ensemble (minus Melody), Kimberly made a super-sensational return to our screens with an exclusive performance and a very special announcement, revealing their reunion tour. Reuniting with her Pussycat pals for the phenomenally-popular group\u2019s first public performance in a decade, the gyrating girls graced the stage on ITV\u2019s \u2018X Factor: Celebrity\u2019, on which Nicole also served as a judge alongside music mogul Simon Cowell and talent show judge Louis Walsh.<\/p>\n Dubbed \u201cWonder Woman\u201d by her bandmates, strutting on stage, following just four days of rehearsals, over ten years since last performing together, and just seven weeks after having Senna by caesarean was some feat! She says the Pussycat Dolls\u2019 comeback performance was \u201cimmense\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI knew I was signing up for the challenge of a lifetime\u2026 I love being a Pussycat Doll and I love being a mum, and surprise baby number 3 definitely threw a bit of spanner in the works! But I was really excited to have that opportunity to celebrate being a new mum, a mum of three, and stepping up to the plate to see what our bodies really are capable of. I was fascinated by the journey, from those first baby steps to being able to do that leg tilt on that first reunion performance on \u2018X-Factor\u2019. \u201cI came off stage and SCREAMED to Max, who was holding our new-born baby, and there were tears and everything, just because of the hard work, the dedication, the sacrifice that we had made to make it to that moment. So, it was crazy then to get complaints to X-Factor about looking too revealing, because what was going on behind the scenes, as a mum, going from C-section to PCD was SO intense and in that moment, seeing all the haters, it felt like so much was overlooked, but together, we really pushed it to the max and were able to yeah, see what the body is really capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans went wild as the reformed sassy girl group took to the stage, performing a medley of PCD hits such as \u2018Buttons\u2019, \u2018When I Grow Up\u2019 and \u2018Don’t Cha\u2019, and also treated us to the band\u2019s brand-new finger-snapping track \u2018React\u2019. The accompanying racy music video, featuring fire, leather outfits and seductive dancing in the rain, clocked up almost 50 million views.<\/p>\n \u201cI was overcome with unbelievable pride at watching what my wife had managed to achieve,\u201d reveals admiring husband Max. \u201cWe were both pretty emotional afterwards, because getting up on that stage to do what she truly loves and what makes her feel empowered involved quite the journey\u2026 She worked incredibly hard to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n Max and Kim\u2019s young daughters enjoyed special dispensation to stay up late to watch their mum on the show. \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see them witness their mum doing what she loves to do\u2026 Seeing the dedication she puts into her work, and the joy she takes out of it, is an inspiration to them,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019ve been singing \u2018When I Grow Up\u2019 ever since, so if they do decide to be in the public eye when they are older, we have plenty of video footage to embarrass them with!\u201d<\/p>\n Max the Method maker<\/strong><\/p>\n Max was key in assisting Kimberly to safely regain her fitness levels in the run-up to the show, getting her back into the rhythm with her dancing proficiency post-surgery, and ensuring she wouldn\u2019t miss a beat when she took to the stage with the chart-topping mega-group. \u201cWe were able to work together on her challenge to regain her ability to dance, and I built a program to help make that happen. I was also in rehearsal every day with the baby, making sure Kim was safe from a fitness angle. But she did the hard work. It was truly incredible to see her achieve it, and I\u2019m excited to share the journey with the doc we made.\u201d<\/p>\n Bringing back Doll Domination, the feisty girl group not only generated excitement with their eagerly-awaited energetic stage performance, showcasing their hot-to-trot dance routines and vocals, but revealed they would be releasing a new album and also reuniting for a UK-wide tour, now postponed to 2022.<\/p>\n Dolls on Tour 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n Live performances will take in Sandown Park and Lingfield Park racecourses in Surrey, seeing The Dolls deliver new anthemic hits and fan favourites, with a showstopping show packed with the sizzling dance routines and unforgettable vocals the super-talented ladies are famous for.<\/p>\n \u201cMy main focus is touring. When I tour the world with the Dolls, or any other job, I always connect with local dance classes and try to teach there. I recently taught a class in Australia. and when the Dolls finally go on tour, I will align my tour with the Dolls\u2019 tour dates and try to teach in every city, which is great for the fans to say \u2018hi\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Max will take the kids on tour to support his hard-working wife. \u201cFortunately, my work involves a lot of travel, so we hope to be able to tour as a family and I\u2019ll continue to work as normal in different markets along the way. It will also be a good experience for the kids to see a bit of the world, and it\u2019s great that we\u2019re set up to be able to that!\u201d<\/p>\n Britain\u2019s Next Top Model neighbours <\/strong><\/p>\n Since clinching that celebrated \u2018Celebrity MasterChef\u2019 title, Kim\u2019s appetite for food and family cooking has seen her own \u2018Kimberly\u2019s Kitchen Garden\u2019 cookery slot on ITV\u2019s \u2018Lorraine\u2019, where she\u2019s shared her delicious dishes featuring fresh, homegrown, wholesome ingredients, putting nature on the table in the form of her fave healthy, tasty and simple meals.<\/p>\n Along with accommodating hungry households alfresco, the family particularly enjoys festive entertaining. \u201cWe host Christmas for all our friends, who are all having children now,\u201d adds Max. \u201cSo, what started a few years ago as civilised drinks and good food, has turned into absolute mayhem with kids, dogs, and the occasional Pussycat Doll or model thrown in\u2026 and we love it!\u201d<\/p>\n Alongside good friend\/fellow model\/\u2018Strictly\u2019 2013 Glitterball champ Abbey Clancy, Max sits as a judge on \u2018Britain\u2019s Next Top Model\u2019. \u201cI love being on \u2018BNTM\u2019\u2026 Just lovely people, a lovely environment and it\u2019s really nice to be able to help people with their aspirations to become a model, and reflect on my own attainments and achievements in modelling from that perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n Supermodel Abbey and her footie pro hubby Peter Crouch are also Weybridge residents. \u201cAbbey and Pete throw great parties, and it\u2019s fun turning up and finding out that you\u2019re neighbours with people you\u2019ve known in the industry for years\u2026 All these friendships that happen in London, and then we find out we\u2019re neighbours in Surrey!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAuntie Ash (Ashley Roberts from The Pussycat Dolls) lived with us for most of 2018 before she made her permanent move to London. Auntie Melody (Thornton) came for Christmas 2018. And Nicole and Thom (Evans) who lives just around the corner, were actually the last people to come to our house before lockdown. We went to The Waverley with them and they popped round for dinner a few days later. All the Dolls will be regular visitors once their tour starts and they\u2019re all in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n Fine wining\u2019n\u2019dining in Weybridge <\/strong><\/p>\n With stylish shops a-go-go on their doorstep, sustainable fashion fans Max and Kimberly\u2019s highly-desirable hometown is a prime spot for elegant eateries. \u201cWe LOVE Nikki\u2019s Coffee House in Weybridge. You\u2019ll likely to find us in there after the school run if we have a free day!\u201d \u201cI love having coffee with friends\u2026 in the sunshine, ideally!\u201d says Kim.<\/p>\n Although they now have the ULTIMATE home chef and kitchen, when they do dine out, there\u2019s one particular place that tops this power couple\u2019s menu. \u201cCantina 41 is one of our favourite restaurants in the world\u2026 We absolutely love the place and the people there!\u201d They\u2019re also huge fans of Weybridge\u2019s aforementioned new nearby inn The Waverley. \u201cThey do an INCREDIBLE Sunday roast\u2026 one of the best I\u2019ve ever had,\u201d says Max. \u201cI go there with my kids\u2019 school friends\u2019 mums for \u2018Mums\u2019 Night\u2019, too!\u201d Kim reveals.<\/p>\n Max the film buff<\/strong><\/p>\n Surrey shoots have seen Max modelling not only in Horsley but sashaying at Shepperton Studios, while with watching films his favourite thing to do, he loves walking the red carpet and attending premieres. \u201cWe live within walking distance of the new Light cinema in Addlestone, which is a dream and one of the selling points when we first moved here.
