Once, when I was about eight, my mum handed me a sandwich, and I remarked: 'What are those weird things on your hands?' I was referring to the visible pores, which were such a contrast to my own alabaster-smooth skin. My mum looked mortified, while my grandma laughed and said: 'They're nothing - look at mine!'

I used to be chaotic and unkempt.

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

We actively encourage teenagers not to have babies, we applaud young career women in their twenties, then before you know it you find yourself, as I did, aged 32 at a friend's wedding and being quizzed by everyone about why you haven't got round to reproducing yet.

I'm not suggesting for a minute that you settle for the first half-decent man who comes along - every woman has the right to hold out for Mr Right - but you may find that really addressing your feelings about having a family means the man you thought was Mr Right comes in a different form.

I look at my gorgeous girl and boy, with their incredible zest for life, and I count my undoubted blessings. But there's no question about it: I wish I'd started my family sooner. Much much sooner.

How many of those forty-something celebrities, staring out from the covers of magazines with their beautiful babies, have conceived naturally, or without assistance? Not as many as you might think I would wager - yet for so many women they act as fertility beacons, a symbol of hope in a landscape of diminishing fertility.

Hiding at the back of every woman's wardrobe, regardless of her age or shape, you'll find a sad and sorry collection of all her fashion howlers and regrets.

My closet contains plenty of clothes I don't wear any more, a few I've never worn and one or two items I still struggle to believe I ever bought in the first place.

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

I'm a danger to myself and others in expensive, designer shops, as they send me giddy with excitement, causing me to snap up all manner of silly things.

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

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

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 negative thing about working on a breakfast show is that the alarm goes off at 2:15 A.M., and I get picked up at 2:30 A.M. That's just insanely early.

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