I had the shakes, I had double vision, I had convulsions. But I didn't want to be on antidepressants while I was doing the show.
Because I say why don't you compare me to (American host) Sally Jessy Raphael,
I suggest that instead of criticising us, the establishment has a bloody good look at itself.
I speak to people who have been through so much more.
We see the people that have got stars in their eyes, but if you've really got what it takes, you can get from, say the beginnings, to the top in about five years.
I find myself thinking: Oh God, now what? I always have to have a new plan, otherwise I get very, very bored.
Why don't you compare me to Sally Jessy Raphael?
I go mad without a challenge. I need challenges. At the moment, we're in the final stages of writing a book-The Family Survival Guide.
I'll get into a pattern where I start sleeping only between 12 and 3.30, and go for weeks like that.
I'm pushing the positive mental health message in a very populist way; some people just don't get that or feel uncomfortable with it.
Somebody like me wouldn't have gone on to the Trisha show because I already had a public profile.
I'll get up in the morning while they've all got hangovers and run my 5 miles. But the women who do run are usually 10 years younger than me and they're really obsessed about running. That's all they do. They're really boring.
I know I can get to the stage where I'm drinking a lot. I tend to be rotten and groggy all day and hanging out for the next drink and five o'clock, ping! I have to just stop.
I've had a lot of cognitive behavioural therapy, and am having a family now.
