I started dancing before I could talk. Other babies learn to stand and then walk - I just danced.

When it came to the stylish and graceful art of ballroom dancing, my dad was a king of the clubs, a prowling tiger and a wonderfully natural mover.

If I had a place with a studio where I could paint I'd be happy.

Before a long-haul flight, buy yourself a cheap, big, comfortable pillow. It makes a huge difference.

When I was 10, I knew there was something different about me. Everyone was football-mad, but I just wanted to watch musicals and see art.

I'm a sucker for turquoise sea, white beaches and palm trees. I've been to the tropics every year since I could afford it. It's the perfect place to unwind. I can chill out, read, do a bit of yoga.
