“I was shocked when I saw the stories. I mean, a whole me opening a créche. It's definitely something, and it's coming soon, and when it's ready, I will speak about it,” she told the publication.
Taking to her Instagram page this week, “The Queen” actress told her fans she’s venturing into the world of beauty with the launch of her “first kiddies hair salon”.
