Q: If you had to be stuck in a lift with someone, who would it be?
A: Johnny Wilkinson, preferably wearing just a towel - for obvious reasons.
Q: What is your biggest fear?
A: Small places. I'm claustrophobic and hate lifts. Johnny would take the edge off it.
Q: Do you have any superstitions?
A: I believe in karma and things like that, but I'm not really superstitious.
Q: If you could only have one song on your iPod, what would it be?
A: Adele: Make You Feel My Love, just because it's such a lovely song.
Q: What's the most expensive item you've ever bought, not including property or cars?
A: It was a cream leather jacket. It was £700. I took it to the dry cleaners and they turned it bright yellow. I'd literally only had it for a few weeks. I'm never buying anything expensive ever again.
Q: What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
A: Positive things happen to positive people.
Q: When was the last time you cried and why?
A: I cry all the time. I just stubbed my toe this morning and I had a little weep then.
Q: What's your indulgence?
A: Cheese and biscuits at Christmas time. If you put a cheese board and a packet of crackers in front of me, that's it, they're mine. You're not coming anywhere near them.
Q: How environmentally friendly are you?
A: I have a big recycle bin, so I try to recycle everything. And I do like to get the bus.
Q: How many texts do you send in a day?
A: At least 20.
Q: Who is the most famous person whose number you have in your mobile?
A: I can't say – that would be giving too many secrets away.
Q: What item could you not live without?
A: A toothbrush. I've got a thing about dental and oral hygiene. I'm often looking at people's teeth. I like them to be neat and white.
Q: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
A: I'd like to be a more patient person. Physically I'd like a smaller bum and I'd like Elle Macpherson's body, basically.
Q: Where are you going on holiday?
A: I've just got back from Dubai, which was great. It's my birthday in March so I want to go to New York because I've never been.
Q: What were you doing this time yesterday?
A: I was at the dentist getting my teeth cleaned.
Q: What will you be doing this time tomorrow?
A: I'll be chilling out somewhere because it's my day off.
