“It’s a job, isn’t it? Going to work and it’s important that we all do that. But I don’t want to get into that boring bit because that is obvious.”
She added: “We were talking about that just now in the dressing room and it’s like, I get to do this for a job.
“And I am 50 now, I had a huge 50th birthday bash in LA where I DJ’d and it was all sparkly and so I was like, I need to keep this sparkly going.”
