Are you in love at the mo?
Might be! I might have a little twinkle in my eye!
Oo-er! Do you find it easy to tell someone you love them?
If I’m close to them, it can take a long time. The first time is really difficult, but then it’s easier to say it. But I don’t say it too much or it can become meaningless. I say it to my friends and family all the time though.
Are you always faithful?
I’ve only had two serious boyfriends, one of whom I’m seeing now, so it hasn’t been that difficult! But yes, I am always faithful. I’d dump a boy who was unfaithful. I don’t know if I’d forgive him cos I’d never be able to trust him again. I’ve been on the other end of it – I was in an affair with a guy, I was the mistress! I was very young, and although it was alright at the time, I do remember thinking I wouldn’t have liked to be the other woman. I’d never do that again.
When was the last time you had your heart broken?
A couple of years ago. It lasted for a long time. My relationship broke down and I had been truly in love. It was so hard when it ended. I’d thought he was the one, for ever and ever, but it was just not to be. I feel very lucky to have found love again, actually.
What’s the most romantic thing that’s ever happened to you?
Steps were away somewhere on Valentine’s day and I told my boyfriend that I wouldn’t be back until the next day. I came back early to surprise him, but he’d gone out! I hid under the table, waiting for him to come in, but I was there for ages! He finally came home, and didn’t see me – he went and had a shower. I went upstairs, and couldn’t find anywhere to hide! In the end, when he finally saw me, I frightened the life out of him! But then I booked a hotel room and we went out for dinner with champagne, so it ended up being ok!
