Former glamour model who dated host of stars before settling down with Rose West's son reveals what it's like to be the serial killer's 'daughter in law'
Emma Bradley ignored concerns from her family to settle down with Stephen West, 51, and the pair most recently welcomed a baby girl named Eden.
The former topless model is said to be so besotted with her fiancee Stephen that she is planning to marry him this August at the Celtic Manor hotel in Newport.
Emma's family are believed to have raised the alarm over the fact that Stephen, who once said 'there's a bit of my dad in me', had spent jailtime for seven counts of underage sex with a 14-year-old girl.
But Emma moved in with Stephen to a home in Abbeymead, Gloucester, just five miles away from the 'House of Horrors' at 25 Cromwell Street where his parents committed mass murder.
She has also switched careers after modelling for magazines like Nuts and Zoo in her early 20s for her current job as a nurse at Gloucester Royal Hospital.
After reports of Rose being in ill health in HMP New Hall, West Yorkshire, Emma told The Sun that neither she or Stephen were aware as they have cut ties with the serial killer.
She said: 'Stephen doesn't want to say anything because his main priority is the little ones. He is adamant, at this time of his life he's got a young family to protect.'

Emma shares four girls with Stephen - the eldest being 17 years old - and says they 'don't know about the family history'.
She believes they are 'old enough to be aware but too young to understand'.
One inside source told the newspaper that Emma's family were 'uncomfortable' with her relationship to Stephen due to his family and 'where he comes from'.
They also say that Stephen, a former builder, is currently unemployed and drives a Motability Scheme car due to one of his daughter's being disabled.
Another source said Emma is only with Stephen because she 'wanted attention' and added that 'she has always been like that'.
The former model reportedly dated ex-Arsenal striker Paul Merson and singer Dane Bowers before settling down.

Stephen was jailed for nine months in December 2004 after having an eight month affair with the 14-year-old girl, during which time he arranged for her to have an abortion.
He claimed his harrowing childhood led to psychological trauma which had been a factor in the relationship.
The now-51-year-old has been married twice before his engagement to Emma and has eight children in total. He is also a grandfather.
He grew up in the 'House of Horrors' and cut all ties with his mother and 1999, saying 20 years later it was 'important that I did that'.
Rose had blamed Stephen for her and Fred's the horrific campaign of rape, torture and murder - which included their killing of his older sister Heather - and said it was his fault that she had ended up behind bars.
Stephen added: 'She rang me in 1999 with hate, blaming me for everything. She said I should have died when I was born and that I was a disgrace to the family.
'You don't need enemies when you've got family like that.'
At 14 years old, his father Fred told him to dig a hole in his garden that would be used for a fish pond. But it was to be used for his 16-year-old sister's grave.
The couple would often tell their other children they would 'end up under the patio like Heather' if they did not behave.
Of Fred and Rose's 10 children, only seven are still alive today.
Four of them are believed to have moved to other parts of the UK to begin new lives, away from the 'House of Horrors' - but three, including Stephen, have remained in Gloucester and live around ten minutes away from each other.

Covid delays Pinchbeck boy's life-saving gift to sister
A nine-year-old boy who wants to save his younger sister's life by donating his bone marrow will have to wait after she caught Covid-19, their parents who is nicknamed LJ, from Pinchbeck in Lincolnshire, was found to be a match for six-year-old Destiny who was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder called sideroblastic anemia in requires regular blood transfusions for her condition, which could be life-limiting, and was due to have surgery last mother Kayleigh, 31, said: "I'll wake up one morning and she's not with us anymore. Or she could go a few more years." The mother-of-seven said she had noticed her daughter was not achieving her milestones of sitting, crawling or eating from the age of six said: "She was just so petite, very tiny and she'd just sit in a little chair."Kayleigh's health visitor saw Destiny and recommended she had an urgent blood test to get a diagnosis."I just cried because it was just a big worry because we didn't know what it was," she said. Kayleigh said her siblings get frustrated because they want to include Destiny in activities but both she and her husband Luke do not want her to hurt said the bone marrow transplant could cure her condition but without it her health could deteriorate."So I'll wake up one morning and she's not with us anymore. Or she could go a few more years," she said. According to the NHS, sideroblastic anaemia is a disorder where the body produces enough iron but is unable to put it into the said LJ was the only bone marrow match for Destiny in the family of nine. "He's happy and obviously it took a lot first. We wanted to make sure he's happy," she added the donation could strengthen the bond between Destiny and LJ. She said the children had made "special boxes" so they could remember what they had done for each other when they are older. Destiny was about to go into surgery when she tested positive for Covid-19, her mother said: "It was quite a struggle for me and my partner because we knew the transplant would be off as she's got Covid."If everything goes to plan, Destiny's tranplant will be rearranged for 2 September, her mother added: "Destiny is a very happy, beautiful girl. She's brave, strong." Listen to highlights from Lincolnshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.

Women at the helm: an all-female sailing weekend on the Norfolk Broads
Our yacht was in its element. With sunshine gleaming off the chestnut spars and a north-northeasterly fattening the sails, Windsong ripped across the mere, cocked at a jaunty angle, kicking up waves of joy. It was like a wild horse galloping through surf, ebullient, powerful and graceful. Only this 'wild horse' was under the control of skipper Els Robinson and, to a far, far lesser extent, me. When the cry of 'Come about!' came about, my jobs were to trim the jib (the small triangular sail at the front, I'd just learned) and not get hit by the boom. Oh, and to enjoy the ride. I'd come to the Norfolk Broads to join a women's Wellbeing on the Water weekend. I grew up on the Broads. In fact, I grew up just across the fields from Upton Dyke, where Eastwood Whelpton sailing holidays is based. But I never sailed. I didn't know anyone who did, so it never crossed my mind that I could. 'Our ethos is to make sailing accessible to everyone,' explained Suzy Strowger, the company's office manager. 'Sailing has been perceived elitist, and has been largely male dominated. Our women's weekends are about making sailing affordable and accessible to a demographic that's under-represented at the moment.' Sailing is more than moving a boat, Suzy added: 'It's a wellbeing activity that can particularly benefit women.' She sees women with full-time caring roles or high-pressure jobs come along, looking to support their health and manage stress. The weekend certainly got off to a stress-free start, as we met each other over prosecco and cake in the boatyard. There were 15 of us: some solos, some in pairs, mostly 45-plus, ranging in ability from competent to rusty to total beginner, and here for different reasons. For Katharine, it was about 'having a new experience and getting away from life in general'. Jo was on her third Eastwood Whelpton trip: 'I just enjoy the peace of getting out on the water.' Helen was drawn to the idea 'because too often men take the helm – and there's something special about adventuring with other women, isn't there?' There clearly is. Women-only travel – particularly active travel – is on the rise, and companies are cottoning on. According to the Adventure Travel Trade Association's 2024 Industry Outlook report, of the companies taking steps to diversify their target markets, 38% are targeting women; 'women over 50 travelling solo' was flagged as a specific trend. Also, more larger tour operators are now offering women-only departures while specialist companies are seeing increased demand: for example, when WalkingWomen launched in 2021, it offered 31 female-only small-group hiking holidays; this year its programme features more than 70. An all-female environment tends to encourage women to push their limits, especially when the guides are women too. On this Norfolk weekend, our group was split across a flotilla of five boats, each one helmed by a female skipper – which is far more unusual than it should be in 2025. The skippers seemed as excited about that as we were. Jo and I were buddied up and allocated to Windsong, a traditional, 30ft (nine-metre) gaff-rigged yacht, crafted in the 1980s by a Norfolk boat builder, and an absolute beaut. It has sleek wooden insides, an ingenious pop-top and numerous drawers and cubbyholes (which Suzy had stuffed full of food). One of the first conversations Jo and I had was about who was most likely to pee in the night (she took the bed squeezed into the bow, next to the hand-pump loo; I slept in the main saloon). You have to bond quickly when living in close quarters. Els, our skipper, was commander-in-chief of the whole fleet. Before we hauled anchor, she unrolled a map and explained the plan for the weekend. First we'd motor the short distance to Thurne and moor up for the night; we'd spend Saturday sailing to Horsey, where a windpump (a windmill used to pump water) rises from coastal marshland once known as Devil's Country; we'd sail back on Sunday. Mixed in would be boat breakfasts, picnic lunches and pub dinners, plus a few leisurely walks, some morning yoga, and an optional sea swim. I liked boat life immediately. We drifted down mazy channels, looked across the vastness of reeds, spotted herons, marsh harriers on the hunt, even an osprey – one of the pair that arrived at nearby Ranworth Broad this spring. It was a bit of a moving meditation, too. The speed limit never exceeds 6mph; sometimes it's just 3mph. 'Life today is so go, go, go,' Els reflected, steering us towards Thurne's restored windmill. 'We need to slow down sometimes.' Watching Els at work was part of the joy: she was calm, intuitive, in total symbiosis with the boat. It was tempting to let her get on with it, but she was keen for us to try, but only if we wanted to. I took a turn at the helm, concentrating on not steering into the banks, the boathouses, the other yachts or the regal black-sailed Norfolk wherry that glided by. I helped hoist the sails, lower the sails and hoist them again, learned about reefing and rudimentary knots, and assisted with bringing down the mast so we could just about scrape under Potter Heigham's medieval bridge. Eastwood Whelpton runs official Royal Yachting Association sailing courses, but the wellbeing weekends are quite different. According to Suzy, some women come to refresh their skills, others to read books and drink gin. Speaking of which, after a day on the water, cheeks ruddied by sun and wind, we moored at Horsey for 'anchor drams' (cocktails), then took a walk over the marsh to the dunes. Some 3,245 grey seal pups were born here last winter. On the beach itself, a lone seal popped up from the grey-green surf to say hello. Three of us stripped to our swimmers to join it. It was chilly, choppy and frustratingly shallow, but made me realise that I never regret a sea dip. The biggest challenge was getting changed afterwards: the north wind blew away my towel and my dignity. But did it matter? We were, after all, all girls together here. We ended up in the Nelson Head, a proper old pub; a sign inside read 'We don't have wifi – talk to each other'. Which we did, sharing stories about how life has changed (or not) for women over recent years. The ladies spoke of having mothers who thought marriage and babies were all they could achieve, and of how their own daughters think they're boring but don't see the barriers they've broken down. Johanna threw in her graduation story: she came top of her (mostly male) class at London Business School but 'when the chairman gave me my certificate and shook my hand, said, 'I love to see a smiling blonde!'' That night, as the night before, I slept in dozes, lullabied by Windsong's gurgles, slurps, creaks and groans. I woke early, and crept out into a chorus of blackbirds, redstarts, warblers and cuckoos. At 7.30am there would be a yoga session under a tree, but I wasn't sure how much more relaxed it could make me. I hadn't become a skilled sailor, but I had thoroughly enjoyed this maidens' voyage. The trip was provided by Eastwood Whelpton. Its next Women on the Water Wellbeing Weekends start 12 Sept and 15 May 2026, from £433pp. Places are also available on women-only boats on its Norfolk Race Week (5-10 Oct, from £705pp)
