I didn't go nightclubbing much as a teenager in Bournemouth because my friends and I didn't have the money - but we spent a lot of time on the beach, having barbecues, and running into the sea in the middle of the night.

I want to be buried with a mobile phone, just in case I'm not dead.

I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once.

My husband says my toes are like Wall's cocktail sausages. He feels peckish whenever he sees them.

When I go to one of those singles dating parties I believe myself to be a bowl of fruit. When I talk to potential dates, I judge them by the smile in their lips, their smoothness of speech, and the whiteness of teeth; then I offer them the appropriate fruit, which is usually a lemon.

I never believed I wouldn't make it - and perhaps that's why I've always found work. I've always stuck at everything I've ever done. I absolutely won't give up.

My dream is to have a gay son.
