‘Then my best friend sent me a pic of a quokka. When prey is nearby, they offer up their young so they don’t get killed. She said, “At least you’re not a quokka.”‘
Davina also reflects on the precious family time she had, she continues: ‘My daughter Holly, she’s just turned 19 she went off to uni in September.

She says: ‘My dad told my granny I’d got a job on grown up telly. She thought it was a religious programme…
‘This was my big break on proper telly and it went out on Wednesday night at midnight. It was so decadent and it was so cheap, I wrote all my own scripts – I’m not funny, I’m only funny by accident. In the end I was running out of things to say!
‘I had to dress myself – never let me dress myself ever. I had £20 an episode to dress myself and a wonky fringe. I think we managed to not let her [my granny] see not one episode.’
The Jonathan Ross Show airs on Saturday 5 December at 9:30pm on ITV.
