I thrive off the company of others, I love being sociable.

I've just swum the length of the Thames. I feel quite tired.

When I was a child I devoured every book I could get my hands on. I loved losing myself in colourful and dramatic stories - and my absolute favourite was 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.' Everything about it electrified me, and when I re-read Roald Dahl's books as an adult it surprised me.

We sort of expect to see men in women's clothes. It's part of our culture. The key thing is, it has to be done quite badly.

Definitely I love women, I love being around women, I find them incredible and intoxicating, and I've never had that feeling I get with women with a man.

The most used piece of kit in my kitchen is my saucepan. I use it every morning to cook my porridge in. The least used piece of equipment? I'd say a food mixer. I've never used it, I don't really know what they're for.

Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.
