Is she married?
Hazel married her long term partner at a private ceremony in Scotland in 2008.
The couple live in London with their daughter.
However, Hazel is known to keep her private life private - and not even her colleagues knew about her wedding.
A source said at the time: "Hazel is really friendly and gets on great with everyone but she keeps her personal life to herself. She only talks to close friends about that sort of thing so even people who work with her didn't know about the wedding until after it happened.
"Hazel is dedicated to work which can make relationships difficult."
