I will normally eat about seven or eight mince pies in one sitting. Sometimes, I can get to double figures. My friends, and probably most people, stop at two, so they probably dislike me a bit for it.

I suppose I am one of those lucky people who eats what they like and doesn't gain too much weight.

I have been working since I was 11 on everything including period dramas.

I hate watching myself on film because I am so judgmental.

I defy any woman that doesn't feel more elegant and more groomed and ready for an evening than if you have a blow dry.

I'm not a flying fan. I can't bear it.

I'm not interested in serial dating; I'd honestly rather be single.
