I'm not suggesting for a minute that you settle for the first half-decent man who comes along - every woman has the right to hold out for Mr Right - but you may find that really addressing your feelings about having a family means the man you thought was Mr Right comes in a different form.

I look at my gorgeous girl and boy, with their incredible zest for life, and I count my undoubted blessings. But there's no question about it: I wish I'd started my family sooner. Much much sooner.

How many of those forty-something celebrities, staring out from the covers of magazines with their beautiful babies, have conceived naturally, or without assistance? Not as many as you might think I would wager - yet for so many women they act as fertility beacons, a symbol of hope in a landscape of diminishing fertility.

Hiding at the back of every woman's wardrobe, regardless of her age or shape, you'll find a sad and sorry collection of all her fashion howlers and regrets.

My closet contains plenty of clothes I don't wear any more, a few I've never worn and one or two items I still struggle to believe I ever bought in the first place.

As a presenter on 'Daybreak,' I am lucky in that we have a brilliant wardrobe lady who chooses our on-screen clothes.

I'm a danger to myself and others in expensive, designer shops, as they send me giddy with excitement, causing me to snap up all manner of silly things.

Derek, my husband, is a psychotherapist.

My rational mind knows I am blessed. So many women - some of whom I've interviewed over the years - endure infertility and childlessness.

Bartering is not my strong point.

The negative thing about working on a breakfast show is that the alarm goes off at 2:15 A.M., and I get picked up at 2:30 A.M. That's just insanely early.

The gang on 'GMB' is what really makes it. I love Ben Shephard, Richard Arnold, Susanna Reid and even Piers Morgan.

I love being a mum.

I've not got a celebrity body.

I've got a lot cellulite and my thinking was brown cellulite is better than white cellulite.

I am a news junkie and I can't remember a time when I haven't read a paper or even when I am abroad, watched the news on a TV or your phone.

I'm very nervous of snakes. I think it's something about the movement. I'm not a huge fan of spiders either.

I think we have a problem with how we treat people and alcohol.

I thought, 'I don't really drink that much.' But when you stop completely it is a shocker. You realise that a glass here, going to a function there, they all tot up.

We always have a traditional Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday. My Aunt Lynne organises that for the family, so we go to her house in Hampshire and it gets ever more elaborate every year.

I think the thing about Easter holidays in particular is you don't know what the weather's going to be like.

The National Lottery is brilliant because when I'm on my way people tweet me and say: 'Fingers crossed,' 'make my numbers come up!' Which I obviously can't do but, what a great life!

I'm stronger than I think I am.

I can cope with politicians now I've had about 40,000 cockroaches tipped over my head. Westminster's going to be no problem.

There is something special about breakfast TV in that people feel like they really know you.

Of course, no one wants to get older.

I did Robert Pattinson's first live interview for 'Twilight' and he was so nervous.

I've been very lucky to work in a newsroom where there are lots of strong, funny, clever women in senior positions.

I've never felt like thumping Piers Morgan. Others may do, but not me. He's exhilarating to be around.

I was deeply in love with David Soul from 'Starsky & Hutch' when I was 11 or 12. I used to borrow my mum's peach nighty and put some lipstick on and say I was going on a date with him. I made this little purse and would carry a picture of him in it and say he was my boyfriend.

You've got to get your head right about ageing. Taking care of diet and exercise and facing your fears about growing older will lead you into a happier place emotionally and mentally. You feel like you have a choice.

I think if a youngster leaves school unable to read you're kind of condemning them to a life of poverty and a life of lack of potential.

I used to be the sort of person that would go out for lunch with girlfriends and get home at 3 A.M.

I don't take myself seriously, because I'm obviously ludicrous.

Nobody loves a baby more than me and I would happily have had about 10 of them.

I loved having children and started relatively late.

Whatever your age, parents generally embarrass their children. I think that's a role we have to play.

Midlife is a time of explosive change, particularly for women. It's just like experiencing another puberty. The changes that take place in your body are enormous and, like puberty, you have to throw off the past.

I'm not sure I'm very confident at all. There was a lot of my life when I thought I was fundamentally unlovable.

Women should do what makes them feel good.

There's something magical about breakfast TV. I can't think of anything else I'd rather do.

Being pregnant changes your body image. You watch your stomach expand. If that happened without being pregnant you'd be in deep distress! But because you're excited about what's going to happen, you view yourself differently.

They say breast milk helps just about everything - I'm surprised you can't run a car on it.

Every time I say I'm going on a diet I end up eating chocolate.

I've always been a bit ridiculous.

I genuinely don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to look the best you can.

I don't think having a fear of death is unreasonable.

It can be easy to let all sorts of things in your life slide, including your relationship.

Some days my husband Derek and I barely have time for a conversation about anything apart from the business of life - who's picking up who and who's cooking dinner.
