People think I work a lot more than I do. I think because you're in people's living rooms every day they're like: 'Oh my God, you're always on the telly,' but it's like, 'Yeah but you always have to go to work every day nine till five whereas I finish at 12:30 P.M. and then I'm home.'

I don't want to encourage eating disorders.

I didn't expect to enjoy my work as much as I do and when you enjoy something it's hard to say no. But I could sit on the sofa and do nothing for weeks. I'd watch telly, I'd eat, I'd go online, I'd be so happy!

When I first started in telly, I had a lot of negative comments... but then I suddenly realised I couldn't be anyone else and actually the bits where I mess up or I'm just me seem to be the things that work.

For me, I had just come from kids telly, 'Dancing on Ice' was the first grown-up telly I had ever done.

As a busy mum, my beauty routine is quite simple, as I don't have a huge amount of time, so I use products that are quick and easy. I don't tend to use different products for night and day either.

Being a child growing up in the 80s, my mum experimented with dressing me in quite a lot of day-glo.

My sister, Kelly, was really bright and academic. She was head girl of the school and at the top of her year. Because we were so different, we were never in competition. You can't be when you're almost running two different races.

I'm very much, get to work, do my job, go home.

If I do something, I commit. Otherwise you spread yourself too thin.

Christmas parties for me are less about a sparkly dress and heels and more about the most ridiculous Christmas jumper I can find.

Everybody knows what leads to a healthy lifestyle, but it's not up to me to give you a blow-by-blow account of what I've eaten that day. It's not helpful, and it's not what's important.
