“I love to use a hair wand; my favourite is Babyliss that is great for doing big curls that I then brush out loads for a super textured finish. I always use my fingers to add extra texture and I swear by dry shampoo.”

“If I'm really stressed I find it hard to get to sleep, but most nights my head hits the pillow and I'm out. I could probably curl up on my kitchen floor and have a kip if I needed to.”

“I've been attacked loads, verbally, over the years.”

“I love plastic-looking cheese slices. I eat whole packets at a time.”

“I know I'm not saying some of the stuff I want to say to people I love.”

“Sometimes you want to just scream, or shout, or be ratty with your partner or your mate. Just forgive yourself, and get over it. Don't aim to be perfect in this chaos, because it's impossible.”

“I'd always felt like a natural communicator, even before I knew how I might channel that into anything professionally.”

“I'm happy to share the good and bad bits of myself because of course I'm not living this perfect, fairytale life.”

“I try to have reiki or a head massage every couple of months.”

“I feel very guilty about the fact that I go to America a lot to work. I try to offset it.”

“If I've left the TV on standby I will wake up and turn it off.”

“Social media is both a dark and brilliant thing for mental health.”

“Every marriage takes work. It doesn't dilute our love or make our marriage any weaker, it actually makes it stronger because we're willing to have those conversations.”

“My parents are really supportive, really proud, but in a nice way; they're not gushing.”

“I'm lucky that I naturally really enjoy my life.”

“I do portraits - my dad's an artist.”

“What you resist persists: as soon as you start going, 'I mustn't feel anxious, I don't want this panic attack to happen,' you're not giving it any space to do its thing. You're trapping it, so it never leaves, and it's horrible - it's a cycle I get myself into all the time.”

“We live in such a fast-moving world that's often so unforgiving, and so unkind.”

“I did years of work that was enjoyable, but didn't necessarily always have a point to it, and I think you get to an age or maybe you go through certain experiences in life where you think, 'There has to be more meaning to all of this.' You can climb the ladder to get to the best radio show or the TV show with the biggest audience, but then what?”

“I don't know about being a wholehearted feminist.”
