There's no secret it's hard work. Even though Brian's the love of my life, and he's absolutely adorable, it's not easy, and we have to work at it. But because we love each other and keep working at it, it pays off.
- Man

- Nov 07, 2020

I think you can do as much damage to yourself going to the gym and running as you do good. So my mission in life is just to keep myself 'good' - in good health, as fit as I can be, a little bit of stretching, and just think positive and enjoy life.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The last place you'll find me is the gym. It seems to me to be a waste of time - I could spend that time doing so many other things.
- Hurt
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I got extremely fit and slim on 'Strictly,' but I did find that, each week, a different part of my body hurt. It really makes you realise the hard work dancers have to put in and how fit they have to be.

- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Wonderful things happened to me - I met my husband, I got invited to previews and premieres, I was asked to do fashion shoots and front covers of magazines. You've just got to embrace it and do the best you can.
- Morning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every morning, I have a coffee to wake up my system, but I don't think you should eat just because it's a meal time, so I often won't have breakfast until late morning.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the days of 'EastEnders,' I couldn't go into a pub or supermarket, as people would recognise me and follow me home.

Usually, I'm asleep by midnight.
- Dawn

- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was appearing on 'Top of the Pops' when I was in my mid-thirties or something. It was fantastic! But it was the weirdest thing, I'll admit. Was I me? Was I Angie Watts? Was I me as Angie? I didn't have a clue, but I was having enormous fun all the same.
- Great Believer
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a great believer that you should always tell people they are wonderful, as we're all insecure at heart, especially in our industry.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I had to live on a desert island, and somebody gave me a chicken, there's no way I'd kill it - I'd call it Henry and make it my friend.

People were following me home in cars, singing outside my window at my flat. I couldn't go to pubs or supermarkets or walk down the street. It was bizarre, but that was my life.

- Nov 07, 2020
I was always slightly afraid of marriage because I didn't like the idea of being tied down. Even when I met Brian, when I was in my mid-thirties, I didn't actually see it on the cards for us. He was a huge rock star, and our lives were very different.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's important to me to keep testing myself in life so that I don't get pigeonholed.
- Gravity

- Flowers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Once, I was followed by a car when I was driving. Every time I sped up, the car sped up, and when I slowed down, it slowed down. Eventually, I stopped, got out and screamed, 'What do you want?' He said, 'I just wanted to give you some flowers because I'm such a fan.' I felt awful. He was just being kind.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I first got engaged when I was 19, but I just knew there was more of life out there for me. I called it off six weeks before the wedding. I felt terribly guilty because he was such a nice boy, and I was in love with him. But it was the wrong time.

- Live

I've been working in radio on and off for most of my career. There's a restfulness about it. It's more focused on the voice, so you don't have to worry about extraneous things like sound effects, as there's someone there to look after that.
- Looks
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Radio means you can play parts that aren't based on your looks or your age. It's a lot of fun. You can do tremendous things - play more diverse characters - that you wouldn't get to do in theatre or TV.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
'Silver Street' was a very happy time for me.
