"I do need my independence. I have to have that." — Carol Vorderman

My bottom is so big it's got its own gravitational field.

The first couple of days on the detox diet aren't pleasant.

It really was hand-to-mouth and you can say, 'Poor little me, how dreadful, what a deprived childhood', but I didn't feel that way at all. It's all about the attitude at home.

Next year, I hope there will be even more parties, lots of holidays and just having a good time, really. Plus wing-walking, air shows and learning to fly, as they are all things I want to do. I won't be restricted by age.
