I used to be double-jointed in my hips, so I could put my toe in my mouth. That can't be classed as a talent really, rather a mild deformity.

People seem to trust you more when you're pregnant. I think they see you as some kind of Mother Earth figure.

I liked the idea of being an actress, but thought better of it.

The horrors of the world in general upset me. I cry when I think about how lucky I am with my lovely little family.

People expect you to be with stars like Beyoncé. Obviously she's amazing, but you can't get starstruck as there's too much build-up to it. It's like, 'Clear the corridor so she can walk down it!' And she's like some fembot. There's too much faff and you end up thinking, 'Who cares?' If I was chatting to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall about chickens I'd be much more excited, as I love him.

I like the idea of being a novelist. I picture myself on the coast, the wind in my hair, horses galloping around me as I sit at my typewriter in the middle of a field.

My most smelly job was at a kennels and cattery, and I basically spent all day scooping poop.
