Do you prefer healthy food or fast food? It depends on my mood. If I'm feeling fat, then I'll definitely go for the healthy option of fish, chicken, salad. But my taste buds do like the fast foods. My favourite is Chinese - I have it now about once a month.

Have you ever dieted? I am on a constant diet, but I always seem to flop on them. I think what I really need is a healthy eating plan. I can't be restricted because that's when I falter and think, sod it, I'm going to eat that just because I can't.

Do you take any exercise? I've got a gym membership - does that count? I haven't been since December, but that is all about to change. I'll probably start next week. The guilt is starting to set in, especially as I'm paying for it every month.

What have you eaten today? This morning I had porridge. I had that about 9.30am, so it will sustain me until lunchtime.

Do you drink alcohol? I do, but very occasionally, when I am out.

Any vices? My biggest is probably food and overeating. I feel as if I haven't had a proper meal if I don't eat everything on it - and my plates are quite big.

Are you vain? Yeah, quite. I am forever brushing my hair. In the car, I have the shade thing down with the mirror flicked up so that I can look at myself when I'm driving.
