Victoria Coren Mitchell

I can be a bit weird, cross when I'm cross, tired when I'm tired, and hungry when I'm hungry.

My 'Only Connect' personality isn't put on: it's definitely me.

I tried doing yoga to see if it would make me a more patient person, but I lost interest after about six minutes.

I'd like to be more decisive. I can take an hour to choose between two brands of washing powder in the supermarket.

When I was 15, I still liked climbing trees and hiding in cupboards.

I won a prize for 'best sponge cake' at the Clacton Festival 2005. Having said that, I was only up against three other cakes.
