Sophie Ellis Bextor hungry for a new career
SOPHIE ELLIS BEXTOR is well known for her music but the singer tells Day & Night that she’d love a part-time job alongside Mary Berry.
“I’m a foodie. I find cooking really relaxing – I love it,” Sophie, 34, told us at the Relais & Châteaux Dîner des Grands Chefs. “I don’t want to do Masterchef – the idea of cooking under pressure doesn’t sound much fun. I like to cook with a glass of wine and with my friends.
