I have had stalkers over the years. The police deal with it but it is very scary. One man kept turning up where we filmed 'Countdown in Leeds,' which was scary. It was sad as he'd been sectioned and thought I was talking to him through the TV.

Once you have children it's love without bounds. You would die for them in an instant, without question. How can you better that?

My first marriage was totally unsuitable and shouldn't have happened. It was a whirlwind, rebound thing. I was 23 or 24 - a baby.

Most people have the wrong idea about me because I've been very private.

Change is one of my favourite words.

If you're from a poor background, you have to work even harder. But that's what makes you who you are.
