dream life-is this-life
All you can do in this life is follow your dreams. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.
radio firsts tvs
I would recommend that anyone who wants to do comedy on TV to do radio first.
attention kind being-bullied
I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
believe effort ends
I haven't put much effort into my personal life and blithely believe it will turn out all right in the end.
kids helping-others want
I just want to be happy, have kids, enjoy my life, help others and create some good work.
attention-seeking want different
I'm terribly attention-seeking. It's very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can't exactly.
real fiction incredibles
Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.
fans mets very-happy
I don't get recognized much, and am very happy with that. The fans I have met have all been delightful.
eight two lunch
I've done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you're recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours. But with 'Britain's Got Talent,' you're on camera for eight hours, with a large theatre audience watching - and in between you're being filmed for ITV2 as you eat your lunch.
fun character hard-work
It can be difficult to be subtle and not cartoony in prosthetics. But when you see characters like Bubbles and Desiree from 'Little Britain' on screen, it makes all the hard work worth it. It's such fun watching those transformations.
thinking sugar evening
It was very exciting to see Alan Sugar, so I think I've peaked with excitement for the evening, because I'm a massive Apprentice fan.
morning kitchen use
The most used piece of kit in my kitchen is my saucepan. I use it every morning to cook my porridge in. The least used piece of equipment? I'd say a food mixer. I've never used it, I don't really know what they're for.
boys years dressing-up
We've got 12-year-old boys dressing up as transvestites.
political luck wish
I'm not a political thinker, but I've just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.
