I'm a very physical person. I like to run and I like to work out.

I used to smoke cigarettes, ten a day, but gave up when I was 28. Now my vice is several cups of coffee a day, which isn't great if you're prone to weak bones as I am, as caffeine can leach calcium.

I was never particularly wild, just very busy and often didn't think about what I was putting into my body. Today things are very different. I stopped smoking in my late 30s; I avoid wheat and gluten as this makes me feel bloated and sluggish; exercise regularly and bounce out of bed.

I broke my ankle ten years ago so high heels are not an option unless I'm literally going door to door for a function.

Think of your pension and start saving. Like my father, I have been a spendthrift, and I regret that.

Generally, I'm a pretty positive, but like any other working person, if the jobs aren't coming in, I do get depressed.

I have always worked and I would say I'm generous with money - if somebody needed anything I would always give it to them.
