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

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.

Now I look back and think if I'd spent more time enjoying myself instead of crying into my pillow over men, my 20s would have been fabulous!

Young girls look to me as a role model and think I crash diet to keep slim. That's not true, I always eat properly.

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.

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.

Men pretend they don't like to be nagged, but they love it, really. It makes them feel wanted.
