You have to let kids live their own lives and make their mistakes, but it is difficult now because there are so many things in their lives which weren't in mine - I never had Facebook. And some of the things I see now I'm appalled by. So I'm as nosey about my daughter's life as I can be. I tell her, 'I'm all over you, whether you like it or not.'

I'd like to play a horse, many people think I already have. Either end of the horse would be fine.

I've never disliked myself, and my weight has had nothing to do with my self-esteem.

Im constantly astounded by how amazing women are. And as we go through all these different stages of life as long as you share them with others and say, Well, this is bloody weird, you can get through everything.

I've always loved kissing. We all do, don't we?

That's the weird thing about not being married - you can't get regular kissing; you can't be guaranteed of it, and that's a great shame.

I never do any television without chocolate. That's my motto and I live by it. Quite often I write the scripts and I make sure there are chocolate scenes. Actually I'm a bit of a chocolate tart and will eat anything. It's amazing I'm so slim.
