Because I'm not a spy in 'Spooks' and I'm not in every day I'm able to do other things, which is great fun because it breaks it all up for me and I get some time to spend with my daughter.

I am not a country girl at all. I tried the whole country dream and it didn't work for me. I need the madness and pandemonium of a city around me.

I'm half Moroccan and half Indian so I have quite an adventurous taste in food.

There is no other parent for Inez. When I was working, I never got to hear about her day or chat about what she was learning or do any reading with her because by the time I got home my nanny had put her to bed.

I've got a varied taste in films. I love a good horror movie - the first few 'Saw' films for example - but I also like comedies.

I was brought up a Muslim and I respect the religion I was born into, but I don't practise it. However, I do believe in thanking God for my happy life.

I love Louboutins and Jimmy Choos, but I've got pairs I've never worn, because I'm still waiting to find the outfit that will go with them.

I get really bad road rage, and if my daughter is in the car I have to bite my lip and try not to swear.

I love salad, but I have to have something 'solid' with it because I don't feel satisfied without carbs.

My social life's moved up a few notches since moving back to London from Surrey because I'm near friends and family again and I'm really enjoying it.

A lot of mums are torn between their work and missing out on important milestones in their children's lives.

My background's Arab and I'm quite fiery, stubborn and used to shouting and expressing myself quite loudly, and Inez and I have our little fall-outs as mum and daughters do.

When somebody openly talks about having depression, it's a very brave thing to do.
