Do you take any vitamins or supplements? Evening primrose, cod liver oil, milk thistle and vitamin E. I started on vitamin E and evening primrose for my skin. It got really bad when I started the Street because of all the make-up and the lights.

Do you prefer healthy food or fast food? Healthy, totally - fast food makes me sick. I'd rather not eat.

Have you ever dieted? Who hasn't? But it never works. If you want to lose weight or your clothes are a bit tight, just exercise and cut down on fat.

Do you exercise? Not as much as I should, but I've got a posh exercise bike at the bottom of my bed, so I sit on that. I suffer from asthma, and it gets worse when I don't exercise.

What foods do you have in your shopping trolley? Chicken, loads of veg, and low-fat sausages, which is bad, but I love them. Skimmed milk. Not much bread. I like bran flakes.

What have you eaten today? A bowl of bran flakes this morning, and coffee, which is pathetic. But we are going out for dinner tonight.

Do you drink alcohol? Not every night, like most actors, but probably every weekend. I try not to drink in the week because of work.

Are you vain? No - I like to look my best when I go out, but have you seen me on screen?
