10 quick questions for Gloria Hunniford

We give Gloria Hunniford a quick-fire question session.

What’s the most unusual thing you’ve done in your career?

I once sang with The Muppets. It’s an unusual claims to fame.

Do you prefer working in TV or radio?

That’s difficult, but I’ll go for Television. It has a wider audience.

Would you ever have Botox?

No. Hand on heart I have never had it and I wouldn’t ever put it in my body. It’s a poison. But if I could change anything with a magic wand, I’d want to be six inches taller and minus a few wrinkles.

Would you succumb to any nips and tucks?

I would never say never, and if it came to it, I’d seriously consider it. Perhaps I need to find out who Anne Robinson’s surgeon is. (laughs)

Looking back, would you change anything?

I think everyone would change something. There are certain things I would have done differently in relation to my late daughter, Caron. I may have gone to Australia to be near her for a year. Hindsight is a great thing.

Do you have an annoying habit?

I hoard clothes. Can’t bear throwing them out.

Any secrets?

Gloria is actually my third name. My first names are Mary Winnifred. I don’t see myself as a Winnie.

Are you a patient person?

Oh, God, no. I’m afraid not. I annoy myself with how impatient I am.

Is there anyone you haven’t made your peace with yet?

No. I’ve always tried not to go down any angry routes in life. It’s too negative. Life is too short.

You have 24 hours left to live. How do you spend the time?

I now know after what Caron went through that, to quote her: “At the end, love is all you have the love of family, friends and your partner.” So I’d spend my last day, surrounded by those I love, and who love me.
