Toyah Willcox gets into the festive spirit

What does Christmas mean to you? 
For the last 15 years, I've been doing panto. So to me, Christmas means entertaining families. On Christmas Day itself, I eat from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. It's the only time of the year where I'll eat for 12 hours!

Do you have the works on Christmas Day? 
Yes we do. I have a restaurant prepare all the food the day before because what I don't want to do on my one day off is cook. All I have to do is put it all in the Aga! 

Do you enjoy cooking? 
I do. I think it's good to make yourself cook. 

Your dream dining companion? 
It would have to be John Lennon. If he could see the world today, he'd have more to say than ever before.
