"I used to want to be a nurse. But then my sister cut herself really badly and I almost fainted." — Tess Daly

I do yoga and Pilates, but I'm not militant about it.

A microphone pack once fell down my knickers and nearly pulled my pants down.

Honestly, I don't really do that much exercise.

I'd worked in TV for a number of years before Strictly,' doing kids' telly and a couple of Saturday-night shows, but nothing on that scale.
