Since the law changed three years ago to provide singletons with the same surrogacy rights as couples, 82 applications were made by single 'intended parents', according to the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.

Julie Bindel, a feminist campaigner, said: 'There are questions to be asked why single men, all of a sudden, want babies that they will be the sole parents for, when traditionally they have passed on the lion's share of caring responsibilities for children to women.'

The golden slippers of Tutankhamun that were left in his tomb.

I touched them last August when I was filming my new Channel 5 series. They are almost 3,500 years old. You can't even put a value on objects like that. They are priceless. When you touch something that old, you feel a connection to the past - and you realise that what mattered to them matters to us.

Lauren, who is expecting again with on-off boyfriend Charles Drury, emphasised her immaculate look with a bouncy blow-dry, her chocolate locks tumbling over her shoulders with the occasional windswept look incorporated into the shots.

If there's one thing history teaches you, it's cause and effect. It is so easy to end up homeless in a couple of steps. And it's incredibly difficult to fulfil your potential if you don't have a home.

I started during lockdown. A bit late, some would say given my age, but at least I've started. In the past, my income has been unpredictable and it has not been easy for me to plan ahead. It always felt like a welcome surprise when money came in. Also, I had other financial priorities.

They grew up during the war and believed in being self-sufficient.

They would grow vegetables and bake their own bread. My father, in particular, never took anything for granted. He did not know his father and he provided for himself from the age of 15 when his mother died. So I was brought up with a sense that money should never be wasted. 

It was a stretch for us at the time. Obviously, it is worth a lot more now, but I have no idea how much. I don't even want to think about it. It's the best money decision I have ever made because it has meant my husband and I have had a secure family home in which to bring up our kids.

We'll probably end up being taken out of there feet first.

I have always been careful with money and lived within my means. I've not had a credit card, nor spent more than what I have. I was brought up to think that if work came along I was lucky to have it. So all my life I have worked six or seven days a week. 

I had a deal for two books - one on Helen of Troy and the other on Socrates. I also did three television series in that year. Overall, I think I earned £75,000. But I was working at least 80 hours a week. My kids called my books 'the treacherous books' because they hated the fact that the door of my study was closed when I was writing.
