They didn't put sweets at the checkout. And, flights.

Please, someone design better flights for children.

Creches on planes I say.

If I wasn't talking to you right now I'd be. . .

Opening mail and writing lists. I couldn't live without my lists; I wouldn't know where I was going or what I was doing.

A phrase I use far too often is. . .

Do you know what I mean?

I add it on to the end of everything I say.

I wish people would take more notice of. . .

The planet. Just do the small things they can, like recycling and try to have a greater awareness.

The most surprising thing that happened to me is. . .

Ending up living in a zoo.

When I'm not filming, I try to be among the animals at Howletts, the wild animal park, founded by my partner's family, the Aspinalls.

A common misperception of me is. . .

That I'm quite tough and in control. I suppose it's what I've led people to believe because I'm so private. In fact, I'm highly emotional.

I'm not a politician but. . .

I'd really encourage children to walk to school. Get mums and kids out of the car.

I'm good at. . .

Organising.

But I'm very bad at. . .

Relaxing. I'm bad at doing without sleep too, I get all emotional and weepy.

In moments of weakness. . .

I occasionally smoke. Very occasionally.

In a truer life I'd have been. . .

Probably an apothecist. I like making tinctures, lotions and potions.

My philosophy is this. . .

Bend and shape yourself to what life throws at you.
