Ruby Wax has basically ruined my career. You'll see when you watch the programme. I get more intimate with Ruby than I've ever been with another woman.

I'd be happy to stay single now because I've always been in relationships. For the first time ever I can do what I want, when I want, with who I want, without answering to anyone.

For now I'm building up stories for the retirement home!

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

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

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.

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.
