'I'm getting slightly nervous about this whole 1 July thing,' she says of the smoking ban. Pah! Tanya would just pay the fine, have a ciggy. 'No, not in this building [BBC TV centre] I'll get bollocked,' she lowers her voice to a near whisper. 'I got bollocked yesterday,' she says, suddenly indignant. 'I came out the BBC, I was standing outside and I got told off. I kind of had to totter into the car park and have a tab there. So ladylike'", PinkPaper.com, May 31, '07
