You have got to stop seeing yourself as a victim, take control and take responsibility. - Trinny Woodall

I think it's great that it's caused a reaction. But at the same time I think the people who are criticising us haven't really watched the show. We are not claiming to be marriage guidance people, or anything.

Quite a few people, you know, maybe want to know a bit more about the real Trinny and Susannah. So we just thought it'd be nice to do it, in a way that's not too intrusive with us.

I'd had enough. I felt so low: I was 26 and there was an exact moment when I just knew I didn't want to do it any more. I was out with two very good friends of mine, who are now dead. They both died of alcoholism. It was about 3am and I thought: "I don't want this. I have to stop." I'd felt that before, a hundred times, but I woke up next morning and I still didn't want to do it. And that was the first time in ten years I'd had that strength of feeling.
