Penny Lancaster quotes:

I think there's always interest in how the other half live - I see myself as a down-to-earth Essex mum who just happens to be living this very glamorous life in Beverly Hills.

I do love fish, and I thought it was healthy without understanding the high mercury levels that fish like tuna, swordfish and halibut can contain.

When men come home, it is more about being part of the family, being with the children, spending more time with the children, being a strong role model. But I think going as far as cooking and putting the apron on, that takes away the masculinity, and I would miss that.

I'm lucky that I have a supportive partner who loves me when I'm bigger as well as slim.

There's less pressure to look good as you get older.

As long as you try your best, that is all that matters. You don't have to be the fastest runner or top of the class.

I modelled in my 20s, and it was an obsessive time. I was under pressure to look a certain way.

If I had a partner who asked when I was going to the gym or commented that I was eating too much or asked if I really needed an extra potato, that would make me feel awful. It would be terrible.

Im a pretty organised traveller.
