Oh, I'd never put my elbows on the table.
From Mary Berry
I think my father couldn't wait to get home to his wife, but I don't know if he was so keen on us children.
It is something you can't predict, and it is the huge sadness in your life, losing a child.
I usually wear only a bit of pink lippy, but for TV, they add a few extra lashes to brighten my eyes and some colour to my face, as without it, I look pale and uninteresting.
Before the start of each new series, I go shopping for my 'Bake Off' wardrobe. I've got increasingly confident with my look and now wear much more colour than I did at the start.
Reluctant as I am to regard myself as a style icon, I would love to think I could inspire older women to make the most of themselves.
A lot of other reality shows on television can be bullying and aggressive, but we wanted 'The Bake Off' to be an antidote to that.
I can't bear the thought of retirement, and I haven't prepared myself for it. I don't play bridge, and I don't play golf. I do play tennis, but you can't do that every day of the week.
