TV!
If your're in on your own, what do you secretly watch on the telly?
Bargain Hunt and Cash In The Attic. If Jack catches me, he finds it really funny, but I think they're fascinating. It makes me want to go up to my own attic to see what I could sell.
HOLIDAYS!
Where's the tackiest place you've been on holiday?
I went with my parents to Lloret de Mar in Spain. We thought it would be really exotic, but it rained solidly for 2 weeks. To make matters worse, there was a hotel being built next door, the toilets were blocked and the beach was full of pebbles.
FOOD!
What can't you help snacking on, even though you shouldn't?
Anything made of chocolate. If it's in the cupboard, I'll eat it. My children don't stand a chance when they open their selection boxes at christmas - I'm straight in for the Curly Wurly!
CRUSH!
Do you have a strange celebrity crush?
I've got a real thing for Anthony Hopkins. I know that sounds bizarre, but he's so attractive and fab at what he does. Jack Nicholson is the same. They both have real charisma. You can see they were really good looking men in their younger years.
FASHION!
Which item in your wardrobe would shock the fashion police?
I'm a hoarder and I have a little black dress with short sleeves and a lacy middle that billows out over my stomach. It's so hideous, i've only ever worn it during my pregnancies.
BAD HABITS!
What's your worst habit?
I'm quite windy and can do it on request at any time! I can fart mid-conversation and carry on as though its no big deal. The kids think its hilarious, but Jack's always telling me off.
SPENDING!
What did you buy in your last big spending spree?
Make-up - I'm absolutely addicted to it. I buy more cosmetics than I do clothes. Jack laughs at me because he'll catch me on the phone with my friends discussing my latest purchase and what nice packaging it has! My favourites are Lancome and Christian Dior. I have a huge box full of it.
MUSIC!
What's the most tragic CD you possess?
Apart from Hear'Say? I suppose it's bad enough owning one of your own CD's but I have quite a few. I love 80's music and I have the compilation Back To The 80's. I think I may have some Steps somewhere too.
FILMS!
What's the cheesiest film you own?
Dirty Dancing. It's been a favourite of mine for years. Jack loves films and our house is like a branch of Blockbuster, but this is one film he's never seen. I have to watch it in secret because he can't stand the music in it.
CRINGE!
What's the most humiliating experience you have had?
Jack was hypnotised for Children In Need live on BBC1 and told the whole nation that I fart at him. There were millions of viewers watchingincluding my family and friends!
