Last word with... Kate Silverton
BBC presenter Kate Silverton, 41, has won praise for her reporting from the world's hotspots. She and husbund, Mike,are expecting their first child this month...
The best thing my parents taught me…
Was to not take life too seriously and to be able to laugh at yourself.
When I was a child the one thing I wanted to be was…
A war correspondent, bizarrely, in the middle of all the action!
If I could go back in time I'd tell my 16-year-old self…
To have faith that if you work hard enough and do the things you love you will have a good life.
The worst job I ever had was…
I've always looked on all my jobs as character building - including the one cleaning loos in my local cafe!
My proudest moment was…
When I was reporting live from Iraq and getting an exclusive story for the BBC Ten O'Clock News.
I was starstruck when…
I met Clint Eastwood when I was reporting for the Oscars one year.
Not a lot of people know this but I'm very good at…
Swimming. As a teen, I swam for the County of Essex. I was also a Young Olympian and won several events, but never went on to do any further training and opted to study instead.
The biggest risk I have taken in my life was…
Going on foot patrol in Afghanistan.
The closest I have ever come to death was…
Getting mortared in Iraq. Or maybe when I was making a kayaking programme for the BBC - I really thought I was going to drown!
