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.

I did like hanging out with all the rock'n'roll boys - it was fun but all those relationships didn't work out.

In LA, I live on sushi or salad.

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

I mean, I'm lucky because I've slimmed down, but the last thing I was thinking about was losing weight.

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.

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.
