KERRY
Peel from Lisburn is the Director of Cheeky Chimp Promotions

is currently trying to set up an exchange programme with

Q&A
What do you like doing on your day off?
On the rare occasion I get a day off, I like to go horse
riding. Obviously I spend as much of my free time as
possible doing stuff with my boys. Camping is a big
favourite at the moment.
Q&A
If you were to choose your favourite meal what would it be,
where and why?
I love Chinese food. The best Chinese meal I've had was
at restaurant in Belfast called the Sun Kee.
Q&A
What has been your proudest moment?
Probably the birth of my boys - they still continue to
make me proud every day.
Q&A
What was the most frightening moment of your life?
When I realised I was going to lose someone very
important to me to cancer, I couldn't think what life would
be like after.
Q&A
How would you describe your taste in clothes? What's the
most you ever spent on a single item?
I love slightly 'kooky' clothing and prefer freedom of
expression as opposed to any trends. I'm not really
motivated by the collecting of material things. I think the
most I spent was around �200 on a coat.
Q&A
What would you do if you won a million pounds?
Buy an old stone barn, have a few horses, and invest the
rest in my boys and my company.
Q&A
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Recently I was thrown off a horse. I ended up having to
show a bruised rear end to a very young doctor, the
embarrassment was acute.
Q&A
What music do you like?
I love all sorts, but at the forefront would be,
Goldfrapp, Bjork, Odetta and ELO (Electric Light Orchestra).
Q&A
What sports person do you most admire?
During the winter Olympics and was thoroughly impressed
by the Russian gold medallist Evgeni Plushenko.
Q&A
Describe your best ever holiday. What would your dream
holiday be?
Camping with the two boys. It's great to see them so
relaxed. So, as camping suits our lifestyle and we do a lot
of outdoor activities, my ideal holiday would be to hike and
camp the world over.
Q&A
What is your greatest remaining ambition?
To get an exchange programme I've been working on off
the ground and running smoothly and also to see my main
projects in the spotlights.
Q&A
If you were on a desert island what three things would you
like to take with you?
My MP3 player, coffee and Marian Keyes to read me bed
time stories of the Walsh sisters.

choose?
Michael Palin.
