In 2003, Cordelia became a single mother to her first child, Carma, which added a new layer of complexity to her life. But when love came knocking in the form of her now-husband, Bob, and more children followed, Cordelia made the courageous decision to hang up her dancing shoes to focus on her growing family. Carma, now fifteen, found her own path in showbiz, landing a lead role in CBBC's successful drama 'The Dumping Ground,' where she plays the captivating character 'Candi-Rose.'
Throughout her journey of motherhood, Cordelia pursued her passion for fitness, becoming a qualified fitness instructor and a Les Mills Body Balance teacher. She juggled it all, teaching up to six classes a week and even volunteering her coaching skills at her children's gymnastics club.
