She has candidly opened up about why she has decided to leave showbusiness behind her and told how she just wants to 'live life'.

In what she said will be her last interview, she told the BBC: 'I want to live life. I want to get in my husband's truck and just wander, hopefully with the children somewhere near us.

'Life is fun for me when they come over. They love playing with the dogs and we have fun.
'I haven't had much fun in my life, to tell you the truth. And I want to have more fun.'
In her new memoir, Barbra has spoken about some of her famous ex-boyfriends but she confessed that if it had been up to her, she would have left them out.
Speaking to Gayle King on CBS Sunday Morning, she revealed that she was told she had to write about her A-list lovers if she hoped to move copies of her new book.
'Listen, I didn't want to write about any of them!' she said emphatically after King listed her biggest conquests.
'But you did!' Gayle pushed back.
She placed the blame for the more salacious material on her editor, recounting: 'My editor said, "You have to leave some blood on the page".'
Barbra has previously dated Miami Vice's Don
