Explains how she uses everyday household activities as her exercise.

I'll be honest, I've never been an exercise person. I mean, you run up and down the stairs 6 times going to the toilet, I think I get enough exercise (laughs). But I do my own housework, windows. They say housework, hoovering and that, is supposed to keep the calories... I wash every day, my grandson lives with me, he's 18 this year, and he's a sportsman so he's got plenty of washing. Ironing, but I love ironing so it's, that's my exercise.
