“I am a news junkie and I can't remember a time when I haven't read a paper or even when I am abroad, watched the news on a TV or your phone.”
“I am older than most of my on-screen colleagues, and the ones behind the scenes, too.”
“Just because it is Christmas doesn't mean you should bottle all your feelings up. Mind you, sometimes being a good wife does mean knowing when to shut up.”
“I think holidays come in all sizes - sometimes you just need to relax.”
“If you said, 'I'm giving up smoking,' people would put on a parade. If you said, 'I'm going to eat more healthily,' people would say, 'Good for you.' If it's drinking, the first reaction is, 'That's so boring. You're going to be so boring.'”
“I work in an industry where most people are way below 50.”
“There's something deliciously flirty about a ruffle.”
“I was deeply in love with David Soul from 'Starsky & Hutch' when I was 11 or 12. I used to borrow my mum's peach nighty and put some lipstick on and say I was going on a date with him. I made this little purse and would carry a picture of him in it and say he was my boyfriend.”

“Some days my husband Derek and I barely have time for a conversation about anything apart from the business of life - who's picking up who and who's cooking dinner.”
“I've got a lot cellulite and my thinking was brown cellulite is better than white cellulite.”
“At 49, you want people to think you are at least a decade younger, not a year older.”
“I think I learned I'm braver than I think I am.”
“I can cope with politicians now I've had about 40,000 cockroaches tipped over my head. Westminster's going to be no problem.”
“I think a lot of the political programmes have decided that most people aren't interested in politics, so they broadcast only for people who are.”
“The negative thing about working on a breakfast show is that the alarm goes off at 2:15 A.M., and I get picked up at 2:30 A.M. That's just insanely early.”
