What would you save if your house was falling into a sinkhole?

My pink bath. It’s glorious.

Most successful chat-up line you’ve heard?

“You want to see my spaceship?”

Your proudest moment?

Marrying my husband. If you met him you’d understand.

Guiltiest pleasure?

The Twilight movies. I was a vampire in a past life.

Favourite smell?

Cigars and cognac.

Earliest memory?

My fifth birthday party. It was Mary Poppins-themed and I went as a chimney sweep.

Worst job you’ve done?

I was a foot model for a minute.

Best hangover cure?

Marmite toast and PG tips. With endless sugar.

Greatest invention?

When I was a kid I use to write books based on sweets. Lizzie Lollipop was my favourite.

Biggest regret?

Not starting acting earlier in my career. Oh, and biting my nails.

Given a spell book, what would you cast?

I’d stop climate change and would live in a house made of cheese.
