I am really lucky with my skin. It comes from my mum. Fashion tip from Cherie: drink lots of water.

As a Catholic, I am proud of the social mission of the church and its concerns for the poor and dispossessed, but I still personally would support women priests.

Like everyone, I am formed by my background, and mine was - well, we didn't have a lot of money. I didn't live in a cardboard box, but I did live in a place where, at the end of the week, the money was gone.

I am not Superwoman. The reality of my daily life is that I'm juggling a lot of balls in the air trying to be a good wife and mother, trying to be the prime-ministerial consort at home and abroad, barrister and charity worker, and sometimes one of the balls gets dropped.

I am a lucky, lucky person.

I am simply not such a slave to my vanity, and I don't want to be, because as you get older you really have to start accepting the inevitable.
