My commitment is to my kids and my mum and I'm having a whale of a time.

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

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.

I loved doing 'Countdown.' I now consider that I was very, very lucky - not just because it was such a wonderful show to do, but because it lasted for so long.

After 30 years of television, I want to play more than I used to.

I'm a bit frightened of the idea of a full facelift because, when you look in the mirror, you want to look like yourself.

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