I'd got to that age when I was out on a date with a guy and I would be thinking: Don't mention your age, don't mention that you want a child - because they would just run out the door.Collection: Dating
Essex is an amazing county, with its own set of rules. It's a completely different world.Collection: Amazing
After I had the Caesarean, I was told I had really strong stomach muscles and so would heal very quickly. And I did. I was up walking about within three hours. Six days after having her, I was out shopping and shortly after that I made it to David Walliams' wedding.Collection: Wedding
I've never been on a fad diet.Collection: Diet
Young girls look to me as a role model and think I crash diet to keep slim. That's not true, I always eat properly.Collection: Diet
My daughter is my biggest achievement. She is a little star and my life has changed so much for the better since she came along.
Like a typical Gemini I'm changeable, I can be two different types of people. I can be very outgoing, but sometimes very shy.
I do like my breasts. They're great, so much fun. You can do what you like with them.
Men pretend they don't like to be nagged, but they love it, really. It makes them feel wanted.
I did the Kilimanjaro climb a few years ago, then the six-day trek to Machu Picchu in Peru so this bike ride to raise money for Great Ormond Street seemed like the next big challenge.
I used to spend all my school holidays cycling around, so all this training has made me feel like a kid again.
I don't know what I would do without my smartphone as I am on the go all day.
I eat quite healthily normally but, like everyone, have relapses and give in to the odd cake.
If you try to breastfeed and it's not working, then you don't feel particularly good about yourself.
About four or five weeks after it was publicly announced I was no longer breastfeeding, I got a letter from the NHS saying they were being supportive of me, but basically, they were very disappointed I'd stopped.
I mean, I'm lucky because I've slimmed down, but the last thing I was thinking about was losing weight.
At weekends, I've been going on long but steady-paced four-and-a-half-hour bike rides.
It wasn't through choice that I became a mum at 36. I wanted to be a young mum but things never worked out for me.
I did like hanging out with all the rock'n'roll boys - it was fun but all those relationships didn't work out.
Now I look back and think if I'd spent more time enjoying myself instead of crying into my pillow over men, my 20s would have been fabulous!
Much as I loved doing 'The Big Breakfast,' it almost became automatic. I need something to keep my brain ticking over, something that I have to concentrate on.
Everybody thinks if you do one thing, you can't do something else. So I like the fact that I can be versatile if I want to.
I'm not changing to the point where suddenly I wear floor-length skirts and start playing the violin; I'm just growing up a little bit, I guess.
In LA, I live on sushi or salad.
