"Comparison is the fastest way to disconnect with yourself, and it's really important that you don't look around and try to be like somebody else," she said. "I've always thought that the ultimate body positivity is actually feeling neutral about your appearance…the neutrality of it doesn't define you." She added: "I always say about myself, 'I'm not beautiful like her, I'm beautiful like me."

I can spend half an hour just looking at a puddle with her, and the thing that I love most of all is going for a nap in the afternoon with her…watching her fall asleep and then falling asleep yourself."

Of continuing her TV career into her sixties, Lorraine joked: "I'll keep going until people get fed up with me."
