Carol Smillie - TV Presenter
Carol presents many popular TV programmes & is one of the most popular faces on UK television. She is from Glasgow and was once a Brownie."As long as you treat others the way you would like to be treated, and try your best then you'll get through life ok."
Glasgow School of Art in the Snow.
I really like the actor Ken Stott. He is hugely talented and yet seems to avoid the media nonsense. I could watch him for hours.
Definitely Changing Rooms, It was a phenomenon in TV terms. I loved the crew and the laughs,
to be involved in a show like that was a sheer privilege…. And A Brush with Fame has been
brilliant.
I started out life as a struggling artist, so this feels right for me. It's great to work on
a show with so much talent around, and I've learned loads too!
Appearing on ' This is your Life' and being invited to both Downing St and Buckingham Palace.
The best bits are the power to bring charities into the spotlight, the money, the perks and the positive attitude people have towards you. The worst bits are the media interest in anything that's private, the unkind comments your kids might hear in the playground, and jealousy.
It was so long ago, It’s hard to remember any particular badges. I’m sure there was one involving camping outdoors though, and that was a minor miracle that I got that one!
Try to somehow to make time for yourself, otherwise you'll go mad! As I said in the introduction, there is no such thing as wonderwoman, so stop trying to be all things to all people.
As long as you treat others the way you would like to be treated, and try your best then you'll get through life ok.
The Variety Club, because they try so hard to improve the lives of so many disadvantaged kids, and Yorkhill Childrens Hospital. I had all my kids at the neighbouring Maternity unit and consider myself one of the lucky ones. They perform miracles every day.
The wee notes I still get from my kids, telling me they love me to 'peesis'
