'We were in the midst of lockdown, I was trying to home school two primary school age children and pre-schooler which was horrendous. All that Glitters was my light relief”
Jewellery maker Emma White, of Leeds, who has taken part in series 2 of a TV show on BBC Two - All That Glitters."I had a nightmare in the semi final,” she says. “I just took on too much and was far too ambitious and so I didn’t finish. I really thought my time was up. But I think the strength of my designs over the weeks got me through, which was amazing.”
"It was a very intense few months, I made a lot of very small chicken legs which all had to be replicas of the life sized version. But my claim to fame is that I am in the credits of Chicken Run.”From there she headed back north this time to Merseyside where her family originated from and moved in with her Auntie.
"There was a lot happening in my personal life. I got divorced and then met somebody new, we decided to get married, then I was pregnant. I was teaching, running the shop and then making my own jewellery in the evening all while having young baby, something had to give and so I let the shop go.”Two more babies followed fairly swiftly which meant White didn’t have as much time at her jewellery bench as she would have liked.
"We knew it would be a big commitment and I’d need to rely a lot on my husband with three children under ten as filming took place over six months, but we agreed after ten years of bringing up small peeple it was my time to do something for me.”And so she filled in the application form and sent in a video and worked her way though the selection process before eventually receiving a call to say she’d been selected to appear on the show.
