men talking years
I have had stalkers over the years. The police deal with it but it is very scary. One man kept turning up where we filmed 'Countdown in Leeds,' which was scary. It was sad as he'd been sectioned and thought I was talking to him through the TV.
couple firsts pleasant
The first couple of days on the detox diet aren't pleasant.
long lucky wonderful
I loved doing 'Countdown.' I now consider that I was very, very lucky - not just because it was such a wonderful show to do, but because it lasted for so long.
cutting hair tiny
I drive a tiny Toyota iQ. I'm quite frugal and often cut my own hair.
talking pieces way
I cannot do the piece-of-talking-meat thing, the 'Here's your money, wear a pretty dress and take the cheque.' I'm not made that way. I have to be as good as I can be at whatever I do.
play years television
After 30 years of television, I want to play more than I used to.
fitness fields bigs
My bottom is so big it's got its own gravitational field.
retirement home building-up
For now I'm building up stories for the retirement home!
party night years
I'm terrible as I never take my make-up off at night, which I know is really dreadful. Whenever I'm out partying I just can't be bothered and now I am on 'Loose Women' that tends to be all the time. I hope next year holds even more parties for me.
careers rubies watches
Ruby Wax has basically ruined my career. You'll see when you watch the programme. I get more intimate with Ruby than I've ever been with another woman.
children instant bounds
Once you have children it's love without bounds. You would die for them in an instant, without question. How can you better that?
kids commitment whales
My commitment is to my kids and my mum and I'm having a whale of a time.
father years three
My father was having an affair with a 16-year-old when Mum was pregnant with me. She found out when I was three weeks old and left, not surprisingly.
baby firsts rebound
My first marriage was totally unsuitable and shouldn't have happened. It was a whirlwind, rebound thing. I was 23 or 24 - a baby.
