“I go to body combat classes. There's something very tribal about being in a room with 30 other women punching and kicking!”
“I don't fit into the yummy mummy box, I'm not a party girl anymore, I'm just me.”
“Animals are good for teaching children about the circle of life.”
“I'm always painted as a party girl, which was true for my 20s. It's taken a long time to shake off that gobby, in-your-face image. I'm actually quite chilled out.”
“In the days before I had kids I used to take six books with me for a fortnight's holiday. My suitcase used to be full of big trashy novels, maybe a bikini and some flip-flops. It was all I needed.”
“The farm life, the space, the muck, I absolutely loved it - it was like having your own kingdom.”
“I'm at work every day, I hold my life together - I'm not exactly waking up in the gutter.”
“Some jobs you do because they pay the bills. Other jobs nourish the soul.”
“If I wear lipstick, my lips take over my face - I've got one of those mouths - so I stick to gloss or lip balm.”
“I can't do heels - I look like a cowboy in drag. I've a terrible gait, and I'm more at home in wellies, riding boots or trainers. With my dad being a farmer, I was raised in a welly.”
“I do sometimes joke that I'm Tarzan and Ben's Jane when it comes to dealing with spiders or if there's dead things in the garden.”
“I don't really trust people who don't like dogs. We always had dogs on the farm I grew up on near Bolton.”
“I'm really quite girly.”
“When I'm on telly, I feel a bit trussed up and I hate make-up and it does put weight on you and I look and see my chins.”
“I would get fit after having each of my children but it was always slightly tainted with guilt because I would feel guilty if they were with a nanny or at nursery while I was working out.”
“I'm a huge fan of reading.”
“Normally I don't have a scrap of makeup on me when I'm on the radio.”
“About once every three and a half weeks, I need a Big Mac, but after that I'm fine.”
“Life is enhanced so much by dogs. When your kids get to an age where they don't want to cuddle you as much and you have to force them into a judo hold to get affection, you've got dogs for that.”
“I'm not really into getting bunches of flowers if I'm a bit under the weather, I'd rather have something to eat.”
