"I’m not a modelly kind of person. I’m not actually that into my appearance. I know that I’ve got lumps and bumps because I’ve had a few babies, and I don’t mind. I am the Irish Bridget Jones.
"I always forget to hold in my tummy. I forget the way to position my arms, or my chins – I’ve got three chins – and I just don’t know what to do with myself. I look very awkward.
"I’m usually wearing massive, and I mean massive, Spanx. So usually I do the red carpet and then I leave my Spanx in a hotel bin, so I can breathe and enjoy the food. Now not the expensive real Spanx, I get mine in Penneys."
