Ex-ladette and Strictly Come Dancing Starlet, Zoe Ball is encouraging the country to Brighten up their homes this winter, with B&Q's Brighten Up Britain campaign.We chatted to Zoe about her love for Norris from Corrie, why she thinks Phil Daniels is sexy and why her DIY skills are up to scratch.

So what have you been up to recently?

I've been taking the whole summer off, just being a mum really. I worked quite a lot last year, so I wanted to take some time off and enjoy some family time. We ended up having a few holidays abroad, with the weather being so awful, and that really helped us to relax; we've been having a great time!

You're backing B&Q's Brighten up Britain, what made you want to get involved with this project?

Well, with the weather being really pants, I really wanted to brighten up my house. It was all greys and browns, and when the sun did come out, it looked really dark. So I popped to B&Q and got handy!
