Inside my heart, there's a 12-year-old girl who has always wanted to be Ginger Rogers.

I always have bananas with me for energy.

Sometimes I'll work through the crossword sections of three separate papers.

I have to be careful what I eat before going onstage, to avoid an upset stomach.

My father Philip was an actor and appeared in everything from 'The Onedin Line' to 'Hedda Gabler' with Dame Diana Rigg.

I managed to slip two children out in the middle of my career and have been lucky with all the work.

One of my earliest memories is of being about three and a half, climbing through the legs of a man who I didn't know was the famous actor, Patrick Magee.
