- SpouseLudo Graham(1992 - present)
- Tousled blonde hair
- Her paternal grandfather, Bill Humble, was a stunt pilot and a test pilot who worked on the testing of World War II aeroplanes. Her maternal grandfather, Stanley Carter, was also a WW II pilot; after being shot down he was imprisoned in Stalag Luft III and played a major part in the preparations for The Great Escape.
- After leaving school, she spent time traveling through Africa from Cape Town to Cairo. She paid her way on the journey by working a variety of jobs, including driving safari trucks, working on a crocodile farm, waitressing, and performing as a magician's assistant - she was the girl who got sawed in half.
- Her wedding ring, an antique 18-carat gold band, is an old family heirloom that originally belonged to her great-grandmother.
- She's a fully qualified Scuba diver.
- Lives in the Wye Valley with her husband. They have no children.
- [about working with Bill Oddie on Springwatch (2005) and Autumnwatch (2006)] I never, ever get bored. Bill ranges from being unpredictable to downright difficult, but he's passionate about his subject and has made an awful lot of other people so, too. You can't knock that. Sometimes I could cheerfully throttle him, and we have some heated (unprintable) exchanges. But the bottom line is I'm terribly fond of the old sod.
- [interview in The Sun, 19 November 2007] One of life's great joys is dancing naked in the sun. It makes me feel so good. Even now, there are all sorts of places in the world where you can take your clothes off and not be seen.
- (on children - interviewed by Rosie Millard for The Times in October 2008) I've never been interested. Women are always cross-examined about it. Men never are. I have a husband [the television producer Ludo Graham] whom I adore, godchildren whom I love. I think there are too many people in the world; not that that's why I've decided not to do it. It's just not for me.
- [on her sheepdog] I always think she looks like a cross between David Bowie and Basil Brush.
