What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?

A gorgeous black floral maxi skirt that needs tailoring as it’s far too long for me. I have no idea where I’ll wear it to, but it’s got an eastern-western vibe so will suit any formal occasion.

What are you addicted to buying?

Everything – shoes, coats, jewellery, bags, you name it. I don’t enjoy shopping for anything specific as I never find what I’m looking for. I buy things as I find them, in the hope that the perfect occasion to wear them will come along one day, and it usually does.

Best ever bargain?

Some £12 black and white high heeled court shoes from the Primark section in London’s Selfridges. People always ask me where they are from when I wear them.

Who has great style?

Blake Lively, Olivia Palermo and Priyanka Chopra always look great. I liked Meghan Markle’s style before the royal wedding so it will be interestin­g to see how much it changes now she is the Duchess of Sussex.

Name your favourite high street shop.

Zara and H&M as I can pick up stuff for the whole family and home in both.

Any fashion disasters you’d care to tell us about?

I always look a total mess on the school run. If I’m not working, I never leave myself any time to get ready so I’m usually dropping my daughter off wearing the T-shirt I wore to bed.

What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?

My coats and blazers – I have dozens which have been invaluable for filming and real life. You can chuck them over anything and still look like you’ve made an effort. n
