Much as I'm loving the 'Strictly' experience, I'm sure I'll always be better known for my business career and my appearances on 'Dragons' Den' than I will for my cha-cha-cha or Viennese waltz.
I am proud of the fact I would never tamper with my looks. I love the fact I have earned every line and wrinkle.
Nearly everybody, when they first meet me, seems to have this sense of trepidation.
As an entrepreneur and employer, in the fairly recent past I have been astonished at how difficult it has been to get young people to take the idea of getting a job seriously.
I'm not a fearful person, I have no phobias of rats, snakes, spiders, nothing. I'm lucky in that sense.
I'm impervious to charm. I can see through it.
