Practising maths can be fun.

Maths is the language of science.

I would just like to learn to control my limbs.

I have never been graceful, never been elegant.

God, I don't think of myself as gorgeous at all!

I'd happily describe myself as a TV presenter now.

I never Google myself because that way madness lies.

My biggest vice? Vegan cupcakes, which are delicious.

I like a challenge. I like doing things that scare me.

CBT really helped me, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I've always been clumsy, the one who knocks glasses over.

I have had a problem with food intolerance since I was eight.

People have got their opinions, and you can't please everyone.

The me on '8 Out Of 10 Cats' is the side I'd show to my mates.

The brain is muscle. If you don't exercise it, it will get slow.

For my 21st birthday party, I had a 'Strictly'-themed fancy dress.

I don't want girls to aspire to being famous for the sake of being famous.

I'm at my most fulfilled challenging myself with something that scares me.

Even though you picture Russians as stoic, their language is really poetic.

I think you regret the things that you don't do more than the things you do.

I'm the sort of person who has to learn something properly before I show anyone.

I think we've come a long way with women's rights, but we've got a long way to go.

I'm not into bags, so I don't pay a lot for them; I get them from H&M and Topshop.

I am really surprised that what I am wearing on 'Countdown' has got into the papers.

The paso doble is my favourite dance on 'Strictly,' so I'm so pleased I get to do it.

There is no time you should shut the doors, as there is always love out there for you.

I love that once you know the basic rules of maths, you can do whatever you want with it.

When I first started, I tried to wear things I thought a 'Countdown' presenter should wear.

There's no reason for men to be better at maths than women - it's just about our perception.

My parents encourage me to save, but I do buy the odd thing that I wouldn't tell them about.

Russian is a really hard language - but I've got my own personal teacher. He's been really patient.

I'd love to present a popular science programme because it's something I feel very passionate about.

I cycle, especially in warm weather. If I have a meeting in town, I would rather cycle than go by car.

Maths is like a ladder - if you miss the first few rungs, you can't jump up, so start with the basics.

I like to do things where you do learn something and go on a journey, such as 'Strictly Come Dancing.'

'I'm a Celebrity' is not my cup of tea whatsoever. I don't like the animal cruelty in it, to be honest.

I'm really lucky to be in the TV industry and to have a regular yearly contract. That gives me security.

There's an ingrained mentality in our culture that women aren't as good. Other places, it doesn't exist.

When I was at uni, our whole college bar would gather around the quiz machine for a few games every night.

When I see myself on screen, I don't even feel like it's me - it's like it's a completely different person.

Winter is my favourite season for clothes because I'm happiest wearing knitted dresses, leggings, and Uggs.

I'm really interested in male and female brains and whether female brains or male brains are better at maths.

I am always running late for absolutely everything; my hair's the last thing I do because I am terrible at it.

Some of the words that pop up on the show have had terrible connotations. But that's the beauty of 'Countdown.'

I like American late-night shows, like Trevor Noah, John Oliver and Bill Maher - I've got them all on series link.

For a long time, I thought, 'I'm not a TV presenter,' but now I realise there's no typical route into this business.

I think there is a real negative attitude to splitting up with someone in our society, but it is good to stay friends.

I enjoy things that are relevant to me, like maths and science and 'Countdown,' and I don't want to offend our viewers.

Very fitted dresses look much better on TV, even though in reality they might be so tight that I can barely move in them.

I never would've thought of going on 'Strictly,' I mean, I went on because it's my mum's favourite programme in the world.
