I like to wear more traditional work outfits like pants and a blouse, but I want the blouse to have something that is a little bit different and interesting – like with some studs on it or a little bit of lace.

I don’t know about you, but for me, if I got to present any kind of award, I’m shaking in my pants.

If I’ve learned anything in the last seven or eight years it’s that my career flies by the seat of my pants and that every time I’m booked for something, I’m ill, and anything – like a TV opportunity – I treat as my last ever one because it’s maybe my swansong.
