I Say, 'use It Or Lose It.' I Have My Own Fitness Regime, Which Is Centred Around Stretching, Free-weights And Fast Walking. I Also Have A Trainer Half Of The Year, As I Spend My Summers In The South Of France Where I Swim A Lot.

Botox, I Think, Is Poison, I Would Never Put It Into My Face, And I'm Needle-phobic. I Spend A Lot Of Time Keeping My Face Out Of The Sun And Taking Care Of My Skin And Wearing Make-up.
