Believe me, you don't want to play to an audience of seven in a village hall in Cumbernauld.

As someone who is a dedicated fan of the NHS, I'm extremely worried, I think its a very precious thing that needs to be nurtured, looked after.

I feel very lucky. 'Bake Off' has opened more doors for me. I was so delighted to get the job.

I've always done stuff on stage, so it feels very natural.

I take each thing as it comes and try and give it 110 per cent - it's just a blessing to be able to do different things.

The Bake Off' taps into nostalgic feelings about your mum baking in the kitchen. It's a big ruddy comfort blanket, and you get attached to the bakers. It also genuinely has a good heart.

My siblings and I have got the worst teeth in Britain.

Performing on radio is great, you roll up with no makeup in pyjamas and nobody will know.

I love performing in front of a live audience and just stepping out in front of ruddy Royal Albert Hall is just something, I can't describe it.

Noel Fielding is a friend of mine and I love what he does.

I can hold a tune but it's a bit ropey.

People can now get to see anything they want, in any shape or form, anywhere, on laptop, iPad or 'phone. What's not controllable, though, is the live element. So there's still a real thrill for TV viewers in watching actors pulling it all together and performing live, and a real challenge for the actors.

Of course there's pressure on you whatever timeslot you're doing, but I think there's more pressure on you as you go into the evening and I think being tucked away in a nice teatime arena feels quite nice.

I've never seen 'Light Lunch' - only clips. But I do remember from those clips that there was a lot of bounding about and energy and I think that's probably slightly lessened over the years.

My kids both had Catholic junior school education, which I'm really glad for - it taught them how to be compassionate, how to be kind.

I probably go to church two Sundays out of four.

I would not describe myself as the best Catholic - I'm a bit of a cherry-picker. I like the community of it.

I got into Cambridge and it all went downhill.

At Trinity College there was a coterie of the poshest of the posh, people you didn't ever see, they were so posh. They went to each other's rooms and, at weekends, each other's estates. I preferred to be with the weirdo bunch of raggle-taggle thesps.

I'm really proud of 'The Gift.' There are stories we can all relate to - a first love that went wrong, a person who bullied us at school, a kind person we took for granted.

Nobody likes a presenter melting in a self-indulgent puddle of tears.

It was an honour to be asked to do 'The Gift.' The producers took a risk asking me because, coming from a comedy background, I am not known for this kind of highly-charged, emotional show.

Mum and Dad have both got very well-tuned senses of humour.

Comedy can become quite addictive actually.
