I'm not changing to the point where suddenly I wear floor-length skirts and start playing the violin; I'm just growing up a little bit, I guess.

At weekends, I've been going on long but steady-paced four-and-a-half-hour bike rides.

Everybody thinks if you do one thing, you can't do something else. So I like the fact that I can be versatile if I want to.

Essex is an amazing county, with its own set of rules. It's a completely different world.

I'd got to that age when I was out on a date with a guy and I would be thinking: Don't mention your age, don't mention that you want a child - because they would just run out the door.
