“My husband is always telling me: 'We're on holiday - we don't need to ...” — Ashley Jensen Quote

My husband is always telling me: 'We're on holiday - we don't need to have an itinerary!' But I always want to see as much as I can. Sometimes, I come back from holiday needing a holiday.

I think because I did become a well-known face in my thirties and not in my twenties, I was pretty settled in my boots and I knew who I was. And I think there's a sort of Scottish thing, too, where you don't take yourself too seriously, and you don't get carried away with your own sense of self-importance.

I always felt slightly grubbier than most American people.

Life's too short to worry about injecting botulism into your face to get rid of a tiny line because you've laughed too much. To me, that's a bit warped.

I'm quite tired, so when 'Dancing On Ice' is over I need a good holiday.

Whenever I go on holiday, I like to time travel and imagine what it must have been like 500 years ago. I love the Tuscan landscape, which is reminiscent of a Claude Lorrain painting.

I think I have an inherent modest level of stress, but I'm only super-aware of it when it goes away, when I'm on holiday and I think, 'Oh this feels pretty good.'

I travel so much that my idea of a good holiday is spending time at my home in Nyon, Switzerland.

Holiday food is rich and indulgent. Going-home-to-see-family food is richer and even more indulgent.
