“The scariest thing I ever did was give birth in the kitchen by myself,...” — Helen Skelton Quote

The scariest thing I ever did was give birth in the kitchen by myself, with my three-year-old bashing me on the head with a sword, but it's not like you have a choice is it.

I was lucky to spend so long on 'Blue Peter' and 'Newsround' and if you are a bit giddy, like I am, a bit daft, like I am, and you are the kind of person who makes lots of public mistakes, like I do, then it's sometimes hard for people to take me seriously.

I walked on a high wire at Battersea power station for Comic Relief in 2011. It was the scariest but the most exciting moment. I hated being on it but as soon as I stepped off I was desperate to get back on and do it again!

I might not earn loads, but I can proudly say that I've travelled the world, met the Queen and flown with the Red Arrows.

I know how to cook, so working in the kitchen will never be an issue.

I have a terrible, terrible fear of knives. I only buy food that I don't need to cut... I haven't cut my food in years! Like, I won't even touch a plastic knife or anything sharp. And if I'm in a kitchen and somebody picks up a knife, I leave.

Any good kitchen should be stocked up in oysters, shouldn't they?

I cook as much as I eat, and I like the aroma that comes out of a kitchen.

I slept on a friend's kitchen floor for a year and a half.
