"I truly believe animals are good for the soul. One of my cats disappeared just before Christmas - he just went off, he was very old. But I still have my daughter Finty's dog who lives with me and my legendary goldfish Lazarus.
"I've had to give him the kiss of life twice, and he's still with us. That fish was the size of a finger when we got him. Now, he's bigger than a breadstick. Don't think for a second I'm exaggerating. I know because I had a bet with my daughter. I brought home a breadstick from the pub and Lazarus was the length of it and a little bit more," she said.
"I love going shopping with Finty, we had a lovely day at Selfridges the other day. We 'hit' Selfridges. I didn't buy anything, but I looked. Lovely, it was.
