On finally getting round to writing it, she said: “I was probably in my 20s and then did that slightly embarrassing thing when you tell your friends that you're going to write a book.
“It’s thirty years later! It's so embarrassing. I got to the age of 50 a couple of years ago and I just thought, Look, I've just got to do this, I've been banging on about this for so long and it felt like the right time to do it.”
At 52, she’s become much stronger within herself. She explained: “I felt, I'm 50, I don't care what people think about me anymore. I’m a bit more comfortable in my own skin. I don't say confident but you just feel a bit more like actually it doesn't really matter and it's quite liberating.
