My family are my priority but I've always had a strong work ethic and I like to be busy.

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.

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

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.

It is going to take a very brave man to love me.

I am an optimist. I think, as bad as life sometimes gets, there is so much joy and so much good stuff, that there is a balance.

If I had a dream show, I probably shouldn't even mention it in this climate, but it would be like a kind of Fix It show.
