It wasn't through choice that I became a mum at 36. I wanted to be a young mum but things never worked out for me.

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.

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.

After I had the Caesarean, I was told I had really strong stomach muscles and so would heal very quickly. And I did. I was up walking about within three hours. Six days after having her, I was out shopping and shortly after that I made it to David Walliams' wedding.

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.
