My haven: The kitchen at the heart of Toyah Wilcox's Worcestershire home involves a lot more than cooking
Add to My Stories 
The most expensive one is a thesis on pantomime and I love it to death because people always disrespect panto, but it keeps theatres running.2 COSTUME DRAMA
Katharine Hepburn gave me this blouse after we finished filming The Corn Is Green in 1979. I was 20 but played a 13-year-old. Katharine wore the blouse in the film giving costumes away was her tradition.
She was magnificent: generous, strong and a great role model.3 MEMORIES OF DAD
My fathers willow pattern milk jug means so much to me. It belonged to his mother.
She had 13 children my father was the youngest and Grandma used to send him into the streets of Birmingham twice a day with the jug to collect milk from the churn man.4 SPACE CADET
I have a collection of tiny meteorites. A fan once sent me one thats 1in x 2in. Im so fascinated that something has come from the stars, just like we did. Every bit of carbon we are made from has come from meteorites our planet is effectively meteorites pulled together.5 RABBIT HABIT
Theres always a white rabbit living in my house. The current one is Willyfred. He is thr! ee and i s agoraphobic we leave the doors open, but hell never go outside.
Hes house-trained and sleeps next to my bed.He likes to throw the dice tumbler when we play board games.6 WATER COLOURS
When we had floods here in Worcestershire three years ago, our garden was submerged. I sent some photos of it before and after the flood to my friend Frankie Sundsten, a surrealist artist, and asked her to paint them.
The flood picture is apocalyptic but strangely beautiful.Toyah will be starring in the new series of Sing If You Can, which starts on Saturday 16 April on ITV1
