I have to say I am a ‘Strictly’ fan, which is why I am in it. I’ve always watched it for years. I am not an ‘X Factor’ fan, and I just think it is a different show. One is about learning something new and having a great time, and the other is rather desperate.

I read a lot of highly unsuitable books for an 11-year-old. I was desperate to read as widely as possible. I thought, ‘There are so many places I am never going to get the chance to visit, but I can if I read them.’ And I did. I could go anywhere in the world – and off it – by reading.

I was very much inspired by the things that I’d seen and done in politics, but I was also desperate for a complete departure from the reality of my political experience. ‘It’s Classified’ and my previous book ‘Eighteen Acres’ are both works of fiction, but if they do seem realistic, it’s by design.

I watch lots of American shows like ‘Desperate Housewives’ and so on.
If a huge number of people call for change, the government will have to react. If you want to avoid uprisings, or demonstrations, you need to respond to the people’s desperate need for change.
When I am not desperate, I am worthless.
Parents, you need to watch who you let loose your girls around. If you’re so desperate that you want your kids to be stars, and you’re going to unleash your daughters to the world, you better watch what you get.
