Change is one of my favourite words.

When I get tired, I start eating things that I wouldn't normally crave, like biscuits, because they'll give me a bit of energy to keep going.

I've never once heard my mum shout and she's 83 now. She's incredible. She's very, very happy, slightly eccentric but loves laughing, which I do too.

Everything has to be organised for kids in London - you can't just walk three roads to see a friend.

How you look has become ridiculously disproportionate to what you do. Critics are more harsh on female presenters.

I was away a lot on 'Countdown' when the children were young and I couldn't have done it without Mum's help. Because she was at home running all of that, I never had to worry about them.

The photoshoot glitz and TV studio make-up isn't the real me.
