“It's really important to make the time to curl up and not look at a screen at night. Just to escape into a good book.”
“It will really break my heart when I say bye to 'Breakfast'... but I will be pleased to get my life back.”
“I do like my little smoothie in the morning with a bit of spinach, a bit of Manuka honey and some frozen fruit.”
“When I was working for Radio 1 in Ibiza I stayed in a horrible place with a tiny window and really noisy air conditioning - the last thing you need in Ibiza, where you're often a little bit the worse for wear at the end of the night.”
“I don't like cakey things but will devour anything pickled or salty like capers, beetroot and anchovies.”
“You've just got to give yourself a break sometimes.”
“I'd like to do radio forever, really. I prefer it to telly. It's more immediate and I'm in control of it all.”
“I'm quite laidback.”
“There are so many occasions when I'd like to go back in time and have a word with myself.”
“I catastrophise.”
“My main issue is trying to create shape, because I am like an upturned spring onion. I am bulbous at the top, then I sort of whittle away, and my feet are like the green bits. I try to create - with clever use of a skirt and tucked-in top - a waist and hips.”
“When I've got friends who are about to turn 40, I'm like: 'Babe, you're gonna love it, it's the best!'”
“Radio 2 feels like I'm still at the pub with all my friends but now my father-in-law has joined the table. But I love it. If I was a stick of rock I'd have BBC written through me.”
“My brain is always whizzing around with worries: could I have done an interview better? Have I prepared enough for the next one? If it's really bad, I'll listen to an audiobook or use the Headspace app, and then my brain usually goes back to sleep.”
“I'm sure Zoe Ball and Donna Air, and Nic and Nat Appleton - we'll go to the grave with our '90s secrets.”
“I try to look after my voice. I am very aware that if I am going to be doing a voice over the next day or on the radio, not to go out to a really noisy place or shout.”
“My food villain is salt. I'd love to be have the odd ready meal as a lazy treat, but some contain 33% of your salt intake! i just cant do it to myself!”
“Women need to be treated equally as men, but there are issues with the term feminist and people balk at that.”
“On telly, if it's not the right kind of show, I revert back to my 'Girlie Show' persona, become this daft, bawdy caricature of myself and I'm not actually like that, I'm actually quite - not clever, but smart with my words.”
“I really love 'Broad City' and Lena Dunham's 'Girls,' which I missed when it was first on years ago.”
