I never manage to get to bed early on Sunday night but this doesn't matter, as I don't know one level of exhaustion from another.

I like the influence of the macabre, but I don't believe in ghosts.

My little boy Sonny makes me laugh all the time. He has good comedic timing.

In real life, I'm not super-posh but if that's the stereotype, I really don't care. It could be worse.

I've got a thing for footwear; I have about 200 pairs of shoes from all over the world.

In terms of clothes, everything is on the same level for me. If I like it, it doesn't matter if it cost £200 or £2.

I'm happy that I have a look, but I don't over-analyse whether or not it's beautiful or ugly.

I didn't feel so great when I was a teenager, but who does?

I get really frustrated if people don't smile.

I'm the messiest person I know.
