Q&A
What do you like doing on your day off?
I'm really interested in music and I love to play piano.
I take the opportunity to practice whenever I can. I also
try to make my own music, song-writing is a passion of mine
and I'll try to fit some in when I get free time.
Q&A
If you were to choose your favourite meal what would it be,
where and why?
I love messy food, so something like spaghetti
bolognaise in a classy Italian restaurant. Preferably while
on holiday in Italy to make it authentic.
Q&A
What has been your proudest moment?
It has to be looking at my son just after he was born.
He was the perfect little baby. I cried my eyes out. I was
so happy I couldn't understand why the world didn't stop
because it was so amazing.
Q&A
What was the most frightening moment of your life?
I was terrified when I found out I was pregnant and had
to tell my parents but I wouldn't be without him now.
Q&A
How would you describe your taste in clothes? What's the
most you ever spent on a single item?
Funky but classic. I like the modern versions of classic
styles. Strangely I'm also a big fan of the rock chick look.
I spent about �150 on leather trousers once, but they were
in fashion back then.
Q&A
What would you do if you won a million pounds?
I'd go on a mad shopping spree and pick up a couple of
Valentino outfits and I would book an exotic holiday to
somewhere like Mauritius for about a month and just live in
luxury.
Q&A
What was your most embarrassing moment?
I was giving a performance in front of about 500 people
and I completely missed my introduction and stopped dead.
They had to stop the backing track and re-wind it so I could
start again.
Q&A
What music do you like?
I like most pop and rock music, the sort of music that
appears in the chart and that you'd hear on the popular
radio stations. I also really like female vocalists like
Tori Amos and Sarah McLoughlin
Q&A
Describe your best ever holiday What would your dream
holiday be?
I was on holiday in Cairo, Egypt when I was only 16 and
in one of the museums we saw Tutankhamun's treasure. It was
amazing and made me really take an interest in Egyptology.
My dream holiday would be to go to Africa.
Q&A
What is your greatest remaining ambition?
I'm really into music and singing so I would love to
write and produce my own album. It would be great if it went
to number one as well.
Q&A
If you were on a desert island what three things would you
like to take with you?
My son Joshua who is only two and a half, my make-up. I
have to look good when I'm rescued and my mobile phone to
call for help.
Q&A
If you could spend a day with a celebrity whom would you
choose?
Tori Amos she's not a major celebrity but I really
admire her. It would be amazing to sing with her.
