I love an elasticated waistband on holiday. I look like the before photo of a makeover. I don't care and no one can see me.

I've been known to use white noise during fussy times as well as to help a baby sleep.

There's a certain section of the public who spot me in the street but it's never horrible. I'm not a soap villain who gets spat at.

I have always been really scared of trousers, they aren't flattering.

I'm not afraid of how I look in the mirror.

With any body shape it's important to buy the right size and not be dictated to by size you think you are. Try on a bigger and a smaller size in the shop and see what fits visually. If you do have to go up a size, cut the label out, it's just a number!

When I'm home, I never take work calls. If I'm at work, I work; if I'm home that's it, I'm home.

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.'

When I'm interviewing on the sofa for 'This Morning' it just feels like an intimate chat. Yes, there can be a producer talking through your earpiece but it all becomes second nature after a while.
