“While I was living in New York a friend and I flew to Miami and travelled through a storm. I could see lightning strikes through the window. I grabbed my friend's hand tightly and kept repeating: 'We're going to die! We're going to die!' Thank goodness he was there as I don't know what I'd have done if I was on my own.”

“I've got the recognised care certificate, which everyone has to achieve to be able to get a job in a hospital. So, I've got a backup plan now!”

“Children are fearless and honest, they are the best people to watch. There's no falseness.”

“I just want to live as long as possible because I have three children and a husband that I don't want to leave.”

“I was a huge fan of 'Treasure Hunt' and 'Challenge Anneka.'”

“I was 18 years old and a size 10 when I started modelling, but I was told to lose weight right away.”

“I will allow myself guilt-free time, because I don't do very often and it's allowed. It's healthy for your mind.”

“I truly believe being a midwife is the greatest job for a feminist. It's women helping women, believing in them at a time when they're thinking, 'Am I ever going to get through this?'”

“If anyone says, 'Does anyone have any ideas on this?' I sometimes think, 'I'm not going to say that because it's stupid.' But now I'm like, 'Actually, I can have an idea and if it's not right, it's not right.' I'm a grown adult and I'm allowed to have an opinion or an idea.”

“If my children want a career in the entertainment industry that's fine - as long as it's realistic.”

“I'm a very positive person, but I'm a realist too.”

“I'm a worrier. I worry about everything - I worry about the kids, my family, my health, Matt's health. I always think the worst - and he keeps me calm, he's really optimistic. He's a constant support with everything.”

“Preparation is key - and that's everything from packed lunches the night before to self-tan and eyebrow dye. So once a week I try to put on a layer of gradual self-tan. I also tint my eyebrows once a week with a kit. That makes a huge difference as I have quite sparse eyebrows and it makes me seem more groomed and defined.”

“I don't deprive myself. I eat chocolate most nights and if there's a cake knocking around I'll have it. And I do like Nando's.”

“I really rely on knowing how to apply make-up properly, rather than slapping it on and hoping for the best.”

“When it comes to beauty in particular I think it's really important to choose brands that have real and genuine expertise. Brand that I trust.”

“I won't wear anything very short. I don't do that thing.”

“Social media can be incredibly damaging for impressionable people.”

“I am in no way, shape or form perfect.”

“I always say to my friends that are pregnant, I'll be there don't you worry, everything's going to be ok, if you're with me you'll be fine.”
