I'd never gone as a kid to an ice rink. There was always that fear that I'd break my leg and it would affect my career.

I can't help smiling away and putting that showbiz face on. But behind the smile, I'll be absolutely terrified.

What stopped me is the thought I might get stuck in there. I couldn't take being in the spotlight all the time.

The previous weeks she had birthday parties to go to. Important, normal five-year-old stuff that I want to come first in her life.

I'm the fussiest eater on earth; my husband despairs. I like chicken and pasta, and can't resist milk chocolate. I figure if you're going to do something naughty, make it really enjoyable.

For years I used to try to straighten my hair, but I've reached a stage where I think, 'I've got red curly hair, and it's actually really great.'
