I used to be chaotic and unkempt.

Women should do what makes them feel good.

I think I learned I'm braver than I think I am.

I loved having children and started relatively late.

I don't think having a fear of death is unreasonable.

I work in an industry where most people are way below 50.

I think we have a problem with how we treat people and alcohol.

I don't take myself seriously, because I'm obviously ludicrous.

If it means being settled and content, getting older can be a relief.

I think holidays come in all sizes - sometimes you just need to relax.

I realise, of course, that my cluttered existence is deeply unfashionable.

Coast is my go-to store for any awards do - it's brilliant for occasion wear.

Nobody loves a baby more than me and I would happily have had about 10 of them.

I did Robert Pattinson's first live interview for 'Twilight' and he was so nervous.

There's no need to go the full hog - a touch of subtle sequins will lift any outfit.

At 49, you want people to think you are at least a decade younger, not a year older.

I am older than most of my on-screen colleagues, and the ones behind the scenes, too.

I genuinely don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to look the best you can.

It can be easy to let all sorts of things in your life slide, including your relationship.

They say breast milk helps just about everything - I'm surprised you can't run a car on it.

There's something magical about breakfast TV. I can't think of anything else I'd rather do.

Since I was a little girl, my family has taken a holiday to Cornwall every spring half-term.

There is something special about breakfast TV in that people feel like they really know you.

Sequin trousers can be scary and many women may worry they will be unflattering on their legs.

I used to be the sort of person that would go out for lunch with girlfriends and get home at 3 A.M.

Whatever your age, parents generally embarrass their children. I think that's a role we have to play.

My husband is very much of the ilk that expects to waited on hand and foot during the festive season.

You don't always have to opt for a dress on a night out - a sequin pencil skirt can be far more chic.

I've never felt like thumping Piers Morgan. Others may do, but not me. He's exhilarating to be around.

Ageing might have its drawbacks but it brings with it hard-won wisdom and a wonderful sense of freedom.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's important to keep things clean. It's just the neatness I struggle with.

I'm very nervous of snakes. I think it's something about the movement. I'm not a huge fan of spiders either.

I think the thing about Easter holidays in particular is you don't know what the weather's going to be like.

I had the biggest dry-cleaning bill on 'Daybreak' because I was always on the run and spilling coffee on myself.

You can't beat a British holiday for rock pooling and sandcastles with fish and chips on the seafront - perfect.

I'm not sure I'm very confident at all. There was a lot of my life when I thought I was fundamentally unlovable.

My worst habit is my untidiness. It bewilders my family, the degree to which I can create absolute chaos around me.

I've been very lucky to work in a newsroom where there are lots of strong, funny, clever women in senior positions.

The gang on 'GMB' is what really makes it. I love Ben Shephard, Richard Arnold, Susanna Reid and even Piers Morgan.

As a presenter on 'Daybreak,' I am lucky in that we have a brilliant wardrobe lady who chooses our on-screen clothes.

I can cope with politicians now I've had about 40,000 cockroaches tipped over my head. Westminster's going to be no problem.

Well we have a tiny garden, it's like a postage stamp, so generally we try to get out to the parks in London as much as possible.

A friend puts body moisturiser on every day because it makes her feel desirable. I have started doing it, too, and it really works.

I don't want to look old in my advanced years so I go on a power walk for half an hour every day, and it helps to keep the pounds off.

The more I go to Australia, the more I realise how enormous the country is and how much there is to see. There's really nowhere like it.

I think if a youngster leaves school unable to read you're kind of condemning them to a life of poverty and a life of lack of potential.

My rational mind knows I am blessed. So many women - some of whom I've interviewed over the years - endure infertility and childlessness.

When you're juggling children, a marriage and a couple of jobs, something has to give - and, for me, it's living in a perfectly tidy home.

I am a news junkie and I can't remember a time when I haven't read a paper or even when I am abroad, watched the news on a TV or your phone.

I think that political coverage generally comes in on a level that means if you live and breathe Westminster detail and diary, then you get it.
