I would say that I'm definitely a morning person - I love getting out of bed and seizing the day ahead.Collection: Morning

I had no sympathy with my mum and dad.Collection: Sympathy
I won't let my daughters go on screens at least half an hour before bed because I think it stimulates them a little bit.
And if my 10-year-old is Googling or looking on YouTube then she's got to do it in a room where we're present. We've put all the child safety settings in place, but you still can't predict what might turn up on a YouTube or Google search.
I love my girls more than anything else in the world.
I haven't tried my favorite dance - the Argentine tango - with Vernon yet. I'm sure there would be a lot of toe stamping going on!
Storytime is so important. My little one, she's all about that last thing at night. It's such a special time because they just snuggle up and it's just magical.
I love those moments - the homework, the school run, when I get to chat to other mums. That's real life.
We're soulmates, me and Vernon.
Every time we visit my sister Karen in New Zealand I spend the next two months Googling properties and dreaming of escaping the British winter.
When I worked out on my own, I'd get to the gym but not really know how to use equipment properly.
When I do yoga, I feel like I'm kind of coming home to myself.
If I'm not driving my children somewhere, I'm cooking for them.
If I do take the time to do yoga, even just ten minutes in the morning or last thing at night before bed, I feel better.
All of my relationships with women are empowering.
There's this expectation of glamour. Unlike men who can wear suits and nonchalantly stroll on in a flat loafer, I've got to run across the studio floor live in a high heel and a tight frock.
So many times I've gone flying. I've fallen in audience members' laps, I've fallen down the stairs, I've had a shoe fall off live.
'Strictly' is feel-good escapism.
With my physical self I refuse to beat myself up about things I can't change.
Working in the media, on camera, you could become obsessed with your appearance and how you look. But I have tended to go the other way and I have become less obsessed as I get older.
I try not to dwell on the negatives.
If I'm feeling a bit fatter I won't talk about it.
You know what men are like, they never really grow up, do they? Do they ever catch us up mentally? I don't think so.
I have been spinning a lot of plates, like every mum.
I try to prep a lot of things in advance and be organized, whether that's meals, school runs, homework plans, plenty of GCSE revision.
'Strictly' is there to celebrate success.
Even when someone fails, there's never an underlying nastiness or cruelty. We're an affectionate show and we're not poking fun at anyone. Strictly' is feel-good television at its finest.
Some of my friends laugh at me and tell me I'm far too working-class about my childcare, but I refuse to have a nanny.
I don't want to pump myself full of collagen. That's not what I'm about.
As soon as you hit 40, you have to defend your right to be that great age,' and still working in the media. But why should I defend my great age?
All my adult life, I've worked in media that demand you maintain your shape.
I did want to tone up my arms. Mine have always been lean but I've never had any muscle tone with it because I never exercised.
My mum's really the only person who still calls me Helen, and that's not often. She tends to call me 'love,' so when she does say 'Helen' it can take me a while to respond.
I had people telling me I was too big then telling me I was too thin - sometimes the same people. I learned that you couldn't win, so you can't change yourself to fit someone else's view of you.
I'm one of those people who had written my will by the age of 35.
I grew up with the norm being three meals a day. You wouldn't dream of skipping a meal.
Topshop shoes are great. And always very comfortable.
If you're on your phone, you're not in the moment. And I'm a big believer that joy is in the moment.
I never missed a Sunday lunch growing up and I've continued that tradition with my own family.
I start the day with porridge, blueberries and maple syrup, or I'll puree some mango and throw in some banana slices, then sprinkle some granola and flaxseed on top.
If I eat refined carbs or foods that have the potential to bloat, I notice the baby pouch again.
Dinner is usually rice, vegetables and chicken, or I'll make fajitas, and we'll do roast chicken on the weekend.
I look in the mirror and see new lines every day, I'll see the odd grey hair - but this is life.
I don't usually show a lot of cleavage, it's not in my comfort zone.
If I was sugar-free, I'd be psycho.
We don't have phones at the dinner table.
I broke my nose playing netball aged 15. I've hated my profile ever since.
We've got a little trampoline at home outside, and that's great for getting your lymphatic system moving and for your circulation.
