My parents are from Manchester but I was brought up in London, Camden Town.

I want to get up at 6 A.M. and go swimming and do 30 lengths.

The BCC's figures, compiled by independent academics from the London and Manchester Business Schools, show businesses are paying an extra £40 billion since 1998. The initiative needs to lead some real change.

When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.

I'm always the girl at the party who, within five minutes, has taken my heels off, hitched up my dress in my knickers, and probably spilt drink down my cleavage.

At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out for a drink with the girls.
