“The advice I'd give to anyone looking out for love is to find happiness in yourself first before trying to find it through someone else.”

“It's also important to remember that so much of what's on social media is fake or edited and, while it may look like a party, it's a business.”

“When I lost my sister Bernie to cancer, I knew she'd had enough of the pain and, while I was feeling absolutely heartbroken, I also felt relieved she was at peace.”

“I did everything in my power to make divorce easy on my kids, but it's unrealistic to expect they will escape totally unscathed.”

“Babies are such a huge pressure, even for strong couples who've been together a while.”

“When we have children, we have certain expectations of what the future will hold - rightly or wrongly - and it's hard to accept you won't be a grandparent if it's something you'd hoped for.”

“Weddings usually cause angst of some sort, but sometimes it's better to bite your tongue and rise above the madness.”

“I suppose my insecurity with dating someone a lot younger would be that he'd get to a point where he thought I was too old for him or that I'd start to feel old because I was with someone so much younger.”

“I would never refuse to work with anybody.”

“I want to show marriages can break down without families breaking down to - so long as you're honest.”

“A marriage doesn't look after itself - it needs attention, communication, nurturing and honesty.”

“Breaking up a relationship is a really hard thing to do but putting it off will just make it even harder.”

“I've faced divorce twice in my life and I can honestly say that while the process itself isn't easy, making that decision to call it a day is the most painful bit. When you do make the decision and act on it, there is a relief and you feel more confident and optimistic with every step you take.”

“Some of the best and most beautiful weddings I've been to have been small and intimate.”

“Although I've never been in an abusive relationship, when my dad had a drink he could become very aggressive and sometimes he'd hit my mum. As a result, to this day, I hate it when people shout and get aggressive, and when people get very drunk, and it all stems back to my childhood.”

“As a woman, especially in your youth, your looks are incredibly important.”

“I'm getting some pygmy goats and a miniature donkey. Who needs a man?”

“Just as I do on ITV's 'Loose Women,' I'll always say it as it is to solve your dilemmas - however difficult, awkward or embarrassing.”

“A division grows so deeply between a couple that nothing can pull them back together. And then - for everyone's sake - there is no alternative. You have to face facts and accept the marriage is over.”

“I understand online dating can feel a bit like looking through a catalogue but, like a catalogue, there is a returns policy!”
