“Just to make it clear, I do not have a problem with anyone who decides to have Botox.”
“My older sister Jemma is naturally slim, at least three dress sizes smaller than me - though I don't want to say what dress sizes we are, because I don't think the number on your clothing label is important.”
“From the age of ten I was a full blown fuzz ball to the point that my so-called friends called me 'Hairy McLary From Donaldson's Dairy.'”
“Bedtime is when I get most anxious because I have time to contemplate. I'm also more likely to question my mortality and catastrophise if I've seen or heard something upsetting about somebody.”
