Q&A
What do you like doing on your day off?

Have a long lie in followed by a day of retail therapy. Then I'd go out with my boyfriend.

Q&A
If you were to choose your favourite meal what would it be, where and why?

Probably a pizza in Italy because pizza is my favourite food and Italy is a beautiful country.

Q&A
What has been your proudest moment?

Winning the BBC young sports reporter of the year. I was only 15 and was overwhelmed by the experience.

Q&A
What was the most frightening moment of your life?

When I got trapped in an elevator in a shopping centre. I hate small spaces and it was the scariest 20 minutes of my life.

Q&A
How would you describe your taste in clothes? What's the most you ever spent on a single item?

I'm pretty casual - just jeans and trainers when I'm not working. I once spent nearly �100 on a winter coat in a summer sale. By the time winter came I didn't like it any more and gave it away.

Q&A
What would you do if you won a million pounds?

Buy houses and cars for family then go on a year long holiday to America.

Q&A
What was your most embarrassing moment?

I once bought a pair of shoes to wear out to a club. Stupidly I didn't try them on. When I wore them they were far too big and because I didn't have anything else to wear I had to spend the whole night shuffling around the club in case they fell off. My friends couldn't stop laughing.

Q&A
What music do you like?

A bit of everything - 'No Doubt' and 'Maroon 5' are my favourites.

Q&A
What sports person do you most admire?

Amir Khan - he proves what a young person with talent and determination can do.

Q&A
Describe your best ever holiday. What would your dream holiday be?

My best holiday was when I went to New York for my 18th birthday. I had a ball. My dream holiday would be to go to Los Angeles and visit Sunset Boulevard.

Q&A
What is your greatest remaining ambition?

To go to Los Angeles.

Q&A
If you were on a desert island what three things would you like to take with you?

Sun tan lotion, MP3 player and a little boat so I could return to civilisation whenever I wanted.
