I did the Kilimanjaro climb a few years ago, then the six-day trek to Machu Picchu in Peru so this bike ride to raise money for Great Ormond Street seemed like the next big challenge.

Much as I loved doing 'The Big Breakfast,' it almost became automatic. I need something to keep my brain ticking over, something that I have to concentrate on.

I've never been on a fad diet.

I eat quite healthily normally but, like everyone, have relapses and give in to the odd cake.

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

My daughter is my biggest achievement. She is a little star and my life has changed so much for the better since she came along.

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.
