By 17, I was modeling and had bought myself a flat. I've always tried to be self-sufficient.

I've never got into debt and I've always been in control of my taxes and VAT, but having four children costs a lot. They are my weakness.

From 16 years old, I wanted to have a baby, that's all I wanted.

I'm the kind of person who'll have a few drinks and fall asleep at 11.

I was the eldest daughter with these four beautiful younger sisters with ringlets and pretty faces, and I used to dress them up in Victorian clothes and take them out for the day and pretend they were mine.

If the kids did want to get into showbiz then so be it, but I would never project anything on to my children.

I've always been an animal lover. People should be made aware of all the issues. Some people think that the whole wearing-fur thing is glamorous, but you can look good without it.
