I was very sporty at school, and sport was probably the thing I was best at, but my real passion was for fashion.

I love spring flowers: daffodils and hyacinths are the ultimate flower for me. They are the essence of spring.

I come from a sports family and my husband is a rugby player.

I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it.

I was quite creative at school, and was also interested in fashion, but I was shy -- I'm still not the loudest of people, believe it or not.

I grew up Windlesham in Surrey, which is a beautiful and quaint village.

The idea that so many kids eat rubbish and sit on computers all day long appals me and getting them into sport is a major way of getting them off computers and leading healthier lives.

I don't waste money on smart, expensive clothes.

I have always enjoyed drawing and painting but I don't always find the time to do much these days.

My idea of a good night has always been having a lovely meal and a proper conversation.

I've got a really sweet tooth and sometimes I just have to have some chocolate.

Sports broadcasting is very open now. In the beginning you did encounter more traditional attitudes and get comments. But I'm talking about 12 years ago.

I also try to eat as much raw food and clean food as possible.

As a working mum, it's really hard to find time in the day to just relax and take a break. I am constantly on the go.

I don't find offensive that I'm being labelled a babe by blokes. I'm absolutely flattered.

Elizabeth I was my favourite monarch though, what an inspiration, she did great things for women.

I hate alarms. If they go off I get really tetchy. I hate them. They just get me going, I'm hyper at the best of times, but they drive me mad.

Being busy with work, and as a mum, I'm a big fan of online shopping.

Sailing is a completely new sport for me and I wasn't sure what to expect but I've definitely got the bug.

It is still my dream to own a little flower shop.
