I like 'X Factor' as much as the next person, but I do get overwhelmed with the amount of reality TV. It's such cheap programming and such a load of rubbish, most of it.

My skin doesn't look as good when I'm not eating enough fruits and vegetables, so I try to eat plenty.

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.

In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It's a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible. In 'Robin Hood', you have more artistic license - it's all action, adventure and reaction. This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

As an actor, you always want to do the juicy stuff. But, it's important to get the levels right.

I'm happy with the way I look, but I'm not Hollywood beautiful.
