And it's as you get older that you realize that the things that make you strange are the things that make you who you are. And that's a lovely place to get to.

I've been told I make a very good brew.

I don't mind giving everyone a shock - including myself.

I don't know if I'm so righteous.

I trained as a ballet dancer - well, I started when I was two and a half, and was serious about it from when I was eight until I was 18.

I like to accessorise shirts with a little ribbon tied round my collar or a country style ascot. I've also sewed little hearts on some of my sleeves which I've done for years because I always wear my heart on my sleeve so if you see a little embroidered heart on my clothes, that's why!

Unfortunately I had an ankle problem and underwent three operations.
