1.Earliest memory…

5 years old, running around the garden, having a sugary Ribena high, on my red plastic bus! The future of public transport in the making!

2. What was your first ever job?

Sales Assistant at Dixons when I was 16. Much better than shelf stacking, but really frustrating at times! Taught me the valuable technique of selling things though.

3. Who is your role model and why?

Stephen Hawking – a man whose very triumph over adversity makes his incredible achievements all the more breathtaking. To me, his work proves that true greatness and celebrity is NOT achieved by getting your bits out on “Big Brother”!

4. By what motto do you live your life?

“Tomorrow’s tomorrow. Live for today” and “Oops, I did it again”, mostly!

5. Currently listening to…

Loads of stuff, but mostly boppin’ dance tracks that I can jog to with my IPod! Developing a real penchant for Hed Kandi tracks at the mo.

6. Two things you couldn’t live without are…

Red Wine and my comfy jumper. And Cillit Bang! Incredible stuff! Oops, that’s three – sorry!

7 .What is your favourite word and why?

“Will do” – OK, not a proper ‘word’, but it describes my attitude to life and work – Just get on with it!

8. What is your favourite type of egg?

Eggs Benedict. Yum… Best served with a HUGE glass of orange juice, on a Sunday morning with the newspapers!

9. If I could change the world I would…

Rid the world of all debilitating and horrible diseases such as Cancer and AIDS. And find a way for the world’s peoples to just…get along!

10. If I had five minutes to live I would…

Call my mum and dad!
