If I ever had any vanity, then I definitely lost it by being on television.

I like New York. There are similarities with London that make it feel rather like home, but at the same time it's slightly fictional.

My favourite plant is the foxglove. I think they are a perfect balance between being a garden plant and a wild plant, as at home in woodland as they are in a city.

I'm pale-skinned so I don't feel at my best on a beach.

I do find myself surprised by the comedy shows that seem to have the same joke week in week out.

I've always liked trees. And then, growing up, I took an interest in ecology, hedges being destroyed, the landscape being turned into prairies.

I have done well out of TV, but not well enough to buy football clubs. I'm not sure it's ever a way to make money.
