The creator of Trinny London added, “I didn’t stop worrying, I stopped worrying. I get a bit of a buzzy feeling now when I have to give a lecture to 3,000 women, for example, which is healthy. It’s not nervousness. I feel like there is so much to do; I have a limited amount of time. Right?’
Meanwhile, Trinny further revealed that she doesn’t “want” a new relationship after her divorce from ex Charles Saatchi, noting that her daughter and business are her priorities right now.
She explained, “I’m at an age where it’s classically more challenging for people to have relationships. And I don’t want it like that, I have so much to do in my life. Most importantly, make Lyla feel really good about herself: at ease and confident. Then to get Trinny London in a really good place for whatever trip I want to take.”
The fashion expert added that while she feels “lucky” to be where she is, it would be “challenging” to fit a romance into her busy lifestyle.
She adds that a relationship isn’t “perfect” for me, and she already feels “completed” thanks to her daughter and her successful business.
It was first reported in March that Trinny had split from Saatchi, 80, after ten years together, with friends suggesting the 21-year age difference had caused them to go their separate ways.

Saatchi was seen with Lady Sitwell at his usual corner table at Scott’s Mayfair restaurant – where he had previously taken both Trinny and his ex-wife Nigella Lawson, 63.
