The Through The Keyhole host, who lives in Essex, maintains that she won’t consider settling down until she finds her perfect man.

“It’s tragic, isn’t it?” she laughs. “I’m a sad old spinster! I’m 36 and single, so it’s not something that’s going to happen soon.

“I have adoption in the back of my mind but it would have to be something I thought through properly. Having children used to be something I was sure I wanted but now I go through phases where I don’t know if it is.

“I know I don’t want to get to 50 and wish I’d been a mum but I think if I don’t, I’ll still be happy. I’ll just be crazy Auntie Lisa to everyone’s kids.”

Meanwhile, Lisa insists that pal David – who wrote of his unrequited love for her in his autobiography – is most definitely not gay.

“I adore David,” she smiles. “He’s always the life and soul of the party and extremely funny.   

“David is a brilliant comedian and actor and we get on like a house on fire – but there’s nothing romantic between us.

“I just don’t feel the chemistry – and you can’t fake that physical reaction,” she adds.
 
“But he’s certainly not gay. Yes, he camps it up and I love that he has the confidence not to care what other people think – but he absolutely loves women.”
