"I've been very open about how difficult it was when the tabloids criticised my weight and my choices and called me the "Duchess of Pork". I remember one headline when a newspaper had run a poll and claimed that 82 per cent of people would rather sleep with a goat than Fergie.

"[On Diana, Princess of Wales] I loved her from the minute I met her when I was 14 to the minute she passed away."

"I'm a very chameleon adapter to whatever situation I'm in"
