Vanessa Feltz wants her ashes scattered in a shopping centre.
The 54-year-old radio presenter wants her remnants "sprinkled" in Brent Cross shopping mall, in North West London, when she dies because that way she knows her daughters Allegra, 30, and Saskia, 27, will regularly visit her.
The blonde beauty - who has shopped at the busy centre since it opened in 1976 - told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "When the time comes I'd like my ashes sprinkled in Brent Cross. At least I know my children will come and visit me!"
However, the former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant shows no signs of slowing down and is even keen to have another baby with her long-term partner Ben Ofoedu, 43.
She said recently: "I feel incredibly broody, I really do. If I could have more babies now I would... definitely."
But, for now, Vanessa has her hands full caring for her grandchildren on a weekly basis and has admitted she had even considered trying to breast feed the little ones.
She said: "I take the whole grandma thing very seriously. I don't draw the line at anything. There's nothing I wouldn't do, there's nothing I'm not happy to do ... I thought the love would flood in and I would feel so full of love that the hormones would kick in and I'd be able to breastfeed."

Phillip Schofield has signed a new £2 million deal with ITV.
The 'This Morning' host's latest contract will keep him at the channel, where he presents 'The Cube' and 'All Star Mr and Mrs' along with his daily chat show with Holly Willoughby, for the next two years.
Speaking to The Sun, Phillip said: "We do two-year deals. I've signed the next one. I love working with the ITV team.
"You can never say never, whether ITV said 'thank you very much, it's been amazing' and you go and play elsewhere or the other way round, but there's certainly no plan. That would be a big day."
Phillip also admitted that he would quit 'This Morning' if his co-host Holly did as he feels their chemistry is key to its success.
He said: "I would quit if Holly would. There's no agenda there, it's just the fact that we work together so well that the show's successful.
"I think we'd probably both make the decision together and that's always been the plan."
Speaking previously the presenting duo admitted that they enjoy their on-screen partnership so much, they can't imagine the thought of fronting the show with anyone else.
Phillip - who was joined by Amanda Holden and Christine Bleakley when Holly was on maternity leave last year - said: "We know each other really well. I'd go so far as to say that if Holly said, 'I don't want to do it any more', then I would follow. I don't think I would do it with anybody else full-time."
Holly added: "I couldn't agree more."

Gregg Wallace will star on 'Come Dine With Me' for "the right price."
The 56-year-old presenter may be a dab hand when it comes to the kitchen but he has admitted it would take a mega-deal for him to be persuaded to slip into his apron and whip up a three-course meal for some of his celebrity friends for the popular culinary show.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "It depends on how much they will pay me. Everybody has got their price, if they paid enough money I would do it. I really like the show, I think it is an amazing concept; I love it; food, weird characters and tension.
And it's not just the pay package Gregg will negotiate if he joins the Channel 4 celebrity spin-off show as he'll also like to choose which guests he'll have sitting at his dinner table.
He explained: "I would like to have dinner with John Torode, my fiancée Anna [Sterpini] and Martin Johnson - the World Cup winning captain of the England Rugby side in 2003."
But his four competitors will certainly be in for a treat as Gregg will whip a mouth-watering meal, complete with fish, meat and sweets.
He added: "I think I would serve some Whitstable oysters to start, and then I'd serve roast lamb and then I would make a rhubarb crumble. The problem is with that it is come across as the UKIP of food."
Meanwhile, for now, Gregg will be offering further insight into food and drink at The Ideal Home Show from March 18 until April 3 when it returns to London Olympia.

Scotty T has confirmed he's dating Francesca Toole.
The 'Geordie Shore' hunk has admitted he's been romancing the former Miss Newcastle, but he doesn't want it to progress into a serious relationship any time soon because he's too preoccupied with work to focus on love at the moment.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I'm not in a relationship, no. I've been meeting someone; I've been meeting the F Wow Francesca. But it's not fair for me to be in a relationship because I am always away. If I want a girlfriend I want to be able to spend every day with her but right now we are happy with the way things are, we are chilled, we get on, and I spend time with her. But, once you put a brand and get into a relationship that's when things turn sour.
"At the end of the day, I am not going to have a relationship where I go to her 'I'm back on Sunday, oh and by the way I'm away again all of next week and then I'm going away without my mobile phone.' I don't want a relationship like that. It wouldn't be fair to me, it wouldn't be fair to her. So, at the moment we are casual, it's chilled, we are meeting each other but we are having fun. She's like one of my best mates."
The 27-year-old reality TV star - whose real name is Scott Timlin - is currently gearing up to join the Dreamboys on their 2016 tour across the country but the hunk isn't worried what Francesca may think as she "gets enough" of him anyway.

Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden have named their baby son Bowie Grey - but not after the late David Bowie.
The 'Emmerdale' stars - who also have five-year-old son Buster together - gave their little one the striking moniker shortly after his birth in December, just three weeks before the music icon tragically passed away, but are adamant their choice of name was purely a coincidence.
Asked if they'd given him that name as a tribute to the legend, Charley said: "No! We just loved the name."
And Matthew, 35, added: "Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of David Bowie but that wasn't why we chose the name. We just both loved it. Charley's sister Cassie [Lomas] texted the name to us a few months before he was born and straight away we both loved it. We'd chosen the name before he was born and named him straight away, and then David Bowie died three weeks later."
However, despite finding it "annoying" having to explain each time someone asks if they called him Bowie after the 'Starman' hitmaker, they wouldn't want it any other way.
Charley said: "At first I did think it was strange because he'd passed away, but in reality we wouldn't have changed it. He was nearly a month old by the time it happened so we'd already been calling him it for weeks."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty - who is currently on maternity leave from 'Emmerdale' - is already thinking about having another child and would like to add to her brood sooner rather than later.
She told OK! magazine: "Having this one has made us decide we definitely want another. If we do have another one I'd like to breastfeed for longer."

Nadia Sawalha kept her miscarried foetus in her freezer.
The 'Loose Women' panellist, who has openly spoken about suffering three miscarriages in the past, has revealed she was not in the right frame of mind when she had to deliver her dead baby and decided to stash its body in her kitchen.
Speaking on the lunch time show today (07.03.16), she explained: "I remember when I had my third miscarriage, and I actually had it at home, and delivered it, and all of that...I was just not right in my head. I don't know what would have happened if somebody had come and asked me [about organ donation] at that point ... because I was just so strange.
"Do you know I actually kept the foetus in the freezer because I didn't want it to go anywhere. It was four and a half months, only this big, but it's that connection. That lioness thing comes out. Eventually we had a burial for it."
The 51-year-old beauty - who has two daughters Maddi and Kiki with her husband Mark Adderly - was reduced to tears on national television last year when she opened up about losing her babies and admitted talking about her tragedy with her relatives at the time actually helped her come to terms with it.
She said at the time: "It's really difficult to have that conversation, I got enormous support after I had my second one and my third one which was the hardest of all because it was much later on and I had to go through a birth."

Chris Evans has reportedly been given a verbal warning by the BBC for plugging his Channel 4 show 'TFI Friday'.
The 'Top Gear' host was allegedly pulled up by the broadcaster's big bosses and reprimanded for repeatedly promoting his programme on the rival channel while presenting the Radio Two breakfast show on weekdays.
Chris, 49, came under fire after a listener allegedly filed a complaint to the corporation's specialist complaints unit in October, according to the Independent newspaper.
An investigation into the complaint confirmed that the funnyman had made too many references to his Channel 4 show while fronting his radio programme on the BBC.
The Editorial Complaints Unit said: "As the producers of 'TFI Friday' profit from the sale to Channel 4, it comes within the scope of the editorial guidelines dealing with references to commercial products, organisations and services."
Chris fronted the iconic 90s programme last year, but there are currently no plans for it return for another series this year.
However, for the time being, the presenter has his hands tied up shooting the new series of 'Top Gear' alongside co-host Matt LeBlanc, which will hit TV screens in May.

Verity Rushworth is pregnant.
The former 'Emmerdale' actress has revealed she and her husband Dominic Shaw, who got married in 2013, are expecting their first baby together and are set to welcome the unborn tot this summer.
Taking to her Twitter account this morning (07.03.16), the brunette beauty announced her news, tweeting: "Yey!@dominicmshaw and I are expecting our first baby this summer! So excited!! (sic)."
But the 30-year-old star's baby news will no doubt come as a surprise to fans as she was meant to be starring in and touring the UK with the energetic forthcoming musical of 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' from the beginning of May this year until June.
Verity was cast as Holly Golightly - also portrayed by Pixie Lott - in the singing and dancing show but has reportedly been forced to step down after discovering she's expecting.
And, although she's thrilled about her baby news, Verity is no doubt devastated she won't get to portray Holly in the show as she was looking forward to stepping into the icon's shoes.
She said last year: "I am absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to play the dream role of Holly Golightly in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. I cannot wait to step into the fabulous shoes of such an icon."

'Call the Midwife' was struck a devastating blow in last night's (06.03.16) series finale after Sister Evangelina tragically passed away from a shock heart attack.
Viewers were left weeping into their tissues after the lovable nun - portrayed by Pam Ferris - gently slipped away whilst sleeping in her favourite armchair, accompanied only by a blanket and a cup of tea, before being discovered by caretaker Fred Buckle (Cliff Parisi).
However, despite the tear-jerking scenes, the Sister of Nonnatus House's death was expected as she also suffered a minor stroke, which left her with a paralysed left arm, in a previous series when she assisted the birth of Tripti Valluck's (Anjana Vasan) baby.
And, although Evangelina's passing was emotional, fans were no doubt turned into emotional wrecks when they saw Sister Monica-Joan's (Judy Parfitt) reaction to the news.
When she was told her close friend's body will need to be taken to the coroner, the heartbroken nun snapped: "You shall not take her from this place. How is our sister to rise again if her earthly form is not intact? She will need eyes to see, a brain to think, a heart to love. If you mutilate her now, you maim her for eternity."
Meanwhile, viewers won't have to wait too long for the sixth series of the popular period drama, which first hit screens in 2010, as eight more hour-long episodes have already been commissioned for 2017, as well as a Christmas special this year.
Executive producer Pippa Harris confirmed recently: "I am delighted that the BBC has decided to commission series six of 'Call the Midwife' even before we have gone on air with series five!"
