My five-litre Ford Mustang.
A pair of Back to the Future shoes. They were auctioned off for Michael J Fox’s Parkinson’s charity, so I bid and I won. I am a huge fan of the films and if there was ever a pair of shoes I should own, it was those.
I decided I wanted a red convertible Jaguar, because I thought I would look the bee’s knees in it. The first time I drove it with the top down, it scared the shit out of me. After that, I only bought “mom” cars.
Holidays. In the Spice Girls, we found ourselves with quite a few quid, so it was lovely to hire a big house in the Caribbean and have friends and family over.
I consider myself quite a happy person. One of the most exciting times was when Sarah was born.
There have been moments when I’d want to say sorry to both my parents for some of the stuff I’ve done.
Some of my choices were mistakes, so I’d have to say myself.
I would take things a little slower.
I’ve been lucky enough to act for 35 years. The only other job I had was as a cook at a drive-in restaurant, and I enjoyed that as well.
The easiest thing for me to say would be comfort and at ease.
