I would have never dreamt in a million years I would go out with a ballroom dancer from Russia, as, when we were younger, we did not even speak the same language.
I was with my ex-husband for eight or nine years, and we became good friends. I met him at university, and our relationship ended. We are still good friends.
I think there is a real negative attitude to splitting up with someone in our society, but it is good to stay friends.
For a long time, I thought, 'I'm not a TV presenter,' but now I realise there's no typical route into this business.
I always say the side of me I show on 'Countdown' is the side I'd show to my gran.
I am really surprised that what I am wearing on 'Countdown' has got into the papers.
When I first started, I tried to wear things I thought a 'Countdown' presenter should wear.
I like American late-night shows, like Trevor Noah, John Oliver and Bill Maher - I've got them all on series link.
I don't see myself with or without children - whatever will be, will be.
If I'm with someone, and I'm happy, that's enough.
I take vitamin C and zinc every day to keep colds at bay. I also take calcium tablets to supplement my lack of dairy, and d-mannose, a cranberry extract thought to be good for women's health.
I'm at my most fulfilled challenging myself with something that scares me.
Russian is a really hard language - but I've got my own personal teacher. He's been really patient.
I am always running late for absolutely everything; my hair's the last thing I do because I am terrible at it.
As soon as I am out of my work clothes, I am in flat shoes, stretchy leggings, and a cashmere jumper; it's all low maintenance.
I have loved 'Countdown' for years. I always used to watch it when I got home from school. To be actually on the programme is a big challenge.
People have got their opinions, and you can't please everyone.
I am the type of person who just gets on with whatever life throws at you. I have a 'do first, worry later' kind of attitude.
I am aware of some of the things about me on the Internet - like people putting up pictures of me online every single day on something called Rachel Watch!
Isolation among older people is a massive problem, and my grandad used to come round for Sunday lunch every week for as long as I can remember.
