Sometimes I’m sarcastic. Sometimes he’s ([[Nigel Benn]]) hot-headed. Sometimes [[Nell McAndrew|Nell]] says nothing. Sometimes [[Uri Gellar|Uri]] dramatises little things like farts like he’s an alien who’s never seen one before. Sometimes [[Tony Blackburn|Tony]] misses things because he’s slightly slower. Sometimes [[Tara Palmer Tompkinson|Tara]] is like a child who’s never been able to make a cup of tea. Sometimes, sometimes we are all like that, OK? That’s life, that’s personalities.}} She presented the [[ITV]] game show ''Russian Roulette'' and the [[BBC 2]] show ''[[Gaytime TV]]''.
