Do you take any vitamins or supplements?
I take a multivitamin every day, but generally I just try to eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Do you prefer healthy food or fast food?
Healthy food now - I can't remember the last time I went to a fast-food restaurant. I love Japanese food - I like Wagamama whenever I am in London. If I am going to get a takeaway, then I would probably choose Thai.

Have you ever dieted?
I just try to eat healthily.

Do you take any exercise?
More this year, and I feel much better for it. I sleep better, feel better when I wake up and my skin is better after I go to the gym. I have started body combat training, which is fun.

What foods do you have in your shopping trolley?
When I'm in restaurants I try to have spinach instead of chips, so I put that in my trolley.

What have you eaten today?
For breakfast I had quarter of a grapefruit with porridge and yogurt. For lunch I had chicken salad with mango.

Do you drink alcohol?
If I'm at a do, I will have a drink, and at the weekend, but not too much.

Any vices?
I love cinema popcorn.

What stresses you out?
Just constantly having to pack a suitcase because we don't know where we are filming next.
