I like fresh, crisp, cool, plain white cotton sheets from Calvin Klein.Collection: Cool
I don't want a splashy magazine wedding with celebrities.Collection: Wedding
Celebrity is worthless and useless, it takes away your privacy.
I'm on Grindr, Scruff, Match.com. That's the way everyone meets these days, three of my friends have got married after meeting on Grindr.
I like laying by the pool but I do tend to get a bit bored after a couple of days chilling out.
The Thorn Birds' by Colleen McCullough. I took it on a holiday to Greece and just fell in love with it.
I believe in civil partnerships as it protects each partner. Whether I believe in marriage is a different thing.
My wife Jane left me for another man. Then I fell in love with a bloke. I have been gay ever since.
I was bisexual for a long time. I flitted between men and women quite a lot between the ages of 17 and 26.
I met Prince Harry at Westminster and I want him to be my new boyfriend, but unfortunately I don't think it is going to happen.
Sometimes people need to think of themselves as lions or tigers. Even panthers.
With 'The X Factor' I think the audiences have lost faith and trust in it so that's its problem. You want to be watching something real and dynamic and something you can trust and believe in.
People tend to think when you're at the top, you need bashing down. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Ricky Whittle is fabulous.
For personality, you're not going to get better than Ricky Groves. He really goes for it.
I play the Wicked Queen in 'Snow White.' I'm not typecast. It's terrible. I should be Prince Charming.
Don't get me wrong, I really like being a judge on 'Strictly.' But my first love and passion is directing and choreography and I will be doing that until the day I die.
I grew up with 'Chess' and the music from the show.
All my ex-boyfriends, bar one, are my best friends.
Discovering that my great-great-grandfather Harry was Australasian clog-dancing champion in 1871 was extraordinary.
I danced with Courtney Act, which was absolutely fantastic.
I'd adopt an older child, not a baby.
My signature dish is seafood lasagne - massive king prawns, smoked haddock, cod and a white sauce.
I love getting in the kitchen because I don't get the chance when I'm staying in hotels and on the road.
I like getting blotto at parties but I also like being sober and I hate the hangover.
I'm tongue in cheek, but very much to the point.
Love Island' is for people who aren't celebrities, who've done nothing in their life and are trying to be someone and get something to be famous.
Strictly' is nothing like 'Love Island'... absolutely not.
But 'Strictly' is meant to showcase people with talents in acting, singing, sports, journalism... not fame-seekers with no discernible talent.
The BBC don't pay what they pay in America or on ITV.
Buying my new house in the country wasn't about showing off or being something I'm not, like Madonna when she turned into the country lass with her tweeds on.
I go through the same trials and tribulations as anyone else.
I might be a celebrity but I've still got to have the dosh.
There can be dramas in your life and you can get over them and become someone. You don't have to wallow in self-pity; you can actually use the experiences in your life to push yourself further and help others.
My advice gets misconstrued as being mean.
I'm not saying the persona on 'Strictly' isn't me - it's just that the nurturing side, which is also a part of who I am, isn't what I'm there for. I'm there to judge and to give an honest opinion, even if it's not the opinion someone wants to hear.
If you really have a passion for something, you should follow it and listen to your inner voice.
Yes I've had my nose done.
I'm a lovely person, considerate and loving.
The X Factor' - I watch it because I'm always searching for talent to use in my musicals, so they do all the groundwork for me.
What would people be surprised to know about me? That I love cooking and chopping wood for the heating system in my house.
I think women should be paid the same as men. That's for sure. But what would you say to a woman coming in after you've been in the job for 15 years when they've done absolutely nothing to earn it? I don't think that's right.
My ears are too big.
When I was opening my first bank account, the person at the counter thought I was a girl.
My tights split while I was tap dancing in the West End in 1993.
Actors are very emotional, whereas sports people are used to criticism.
I used to go to clubs and sing as myself but people weren't interested. And then I turned up as a woman and suddenly everyone was interested.
When I'm in a relationship I'm monogamous.
I like committed, one-on-one relationships. That's just who I am.
Anything people say about me I don't care. I really don't care. You read so much terrible stuff about yourself it sort of just ends up washing over.
