I like a challenge. I like doing things that scare me.

CBT really helped me, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I didn't realise until I did CBT that I was a perfectionist. Whenever you do anything, there are always going to be things that go wrong, it's never going to be 100 per cent perfect. Because of how I was, I'd focus on those bits and always see the negative in anything.

I don't want girls to aspire to being famous for the sake of being famous.

To get a job in TV is just amazing.

I never would've thought of going on 'Strictly,' I mean, I went on because it's my mum's favourite programme in the world.

Digital exclusion is a difficult issue for families across the whole of the U.K., including my own. I love seeing my nan, but with such a busy schedule and a long distance between us, I don't get to see her nearly as often as I would like.

A review of maths teaching is a great thing, but it's a complex issue, and often the damage is done in the very early years of education.

Before 'Countdown,' I'd never even met anyone who was on TV.

The me on '8 Out Of 10 Cats' is the side I'd show to my mates.

I'm a massive football fan, so when Ladbrokes approached me and asked me to take a look at the statistics, I jumped at the chance.

I'm very excited to be joining the 'Gadget Show' family. I'm always keen to try out new gadgets, so it's going to be brilliant to be able to get my hands on the latest models and test them on behalf of the viewers.

I've always been clumsy, the one who knocks glasses over.

Maths is like a ladder - if you miss the first few rungs, you can't jump up, so start with the basics.

I have had a problem with food intolerance since I was eight.

In school productions, I was always villager No. 7. I was never at the front of the stage dancing and never had any lines.

People can underestimate you when you're blonde and from Essex, but it's easy to shut that down. I used to get dumb blonde jokes when I was 18, but when I replied that I was studying maths at Oxford, it usually shut them up.

I never Google myself because that way madness lies.

I take vitamin C and zinc every day to keep colds at bay. I also take calcium tablets to supplement my lack of dairy, and d-mannose, a cranberry extract thought to be good for women's health.

My parents encourage me to save, but I do buy the odd thing that I wouldn't tell them about.

I would just like to learn to control my limbs.

I was with my ex-husband for eight or nine years, and we became good friends. I met him at university, and our relationship ended. We are still good friends.

I was on 'Strictly' because I was getting stage fright. I was taught that I had to imagine what a good outcome would be and be happy with it.

The brain is muscle. If you don't exercise it, it will get slow.
