When something is dramatized it provokes a much more emotive response than just hearing a story on the news.

Fashion does seem to have a 20s comeback every few seasons, and I completely see why. Its a very feminine look: the fabrics and the shapes are very pretty and distinctive.

My mum said she remembers me asking her if she'd take me to ballet lessons when I was about two and a half. She said I could barely speak, and yet was asking for ballet lessons.

I think I can be relatively attractive when I dress up, but I'm not Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones.

Ill-fitted T-shirts stretched over a gut are my pet hate. And if the colour's faded - ugh.

The fragrance that suits me best is Romance by Ralph Lauren. It seems to blend into my chemistry, so it is nice and subtle. I don't like to be doused in scent. This one is feminine, fresh and a bit musky.

You can have a great script, and it can be a great show, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't take the public's interest.
