What do you like doing on your day off?
Horse riding. I recently took up kick boxing, gym,
designing. Mountain walking, cooking.
If you were to choose your favourite meal what would it
be, where and why?
AM / PM -can't beat a good bit of steak but Granny's scones wins every
time.
What has been your proudest moment?
There have been many times in my life when I have
experienced self pride and one would be singing in Belfast's Waterfront
Hall. Another was singing for president Mary McAleese.
What was the most frightening moment of your life?
I was recently robbed on a bus.
How would you describe your taste in clothes?
Simple, practical and classic style — I like to think
anyway.
What would you do if you won a million pounds?
Donate to Sergeant Cancer. Buy my granny a caravan by the
sea. Buy the love of my life back - my childhood horse. Bribe Simon or Louis
for a recording contract. Travel the world share new experiences. Voluntary
work with a children hospice in Kenya. Buy a block of driving lessons and I
think by the time I pass I will have run out of my million.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Do you really want to know - Took me 20 years before I
lost control of my bladder and I wet myself in Glasgow. Lets just say I had
a very long wet walk home.
What music do you like?
Eclectic...Josh Groban, Imogen Heap,
Boyz 11 Men, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Adams, John Mayer, Girls Aloud but then
again it might just be for their music videos.
Describe your best ever holiday. What would your dream
holiday be?
Best holiday, meeting Tommy Hilfiger in NYC, G Q magazine, Gen

the winter. Dream holiday is to go back to NYC.
If you could spend a day with a celebrity whom would you
choose?
Simon Cowell/ Louis Walsh asking them from 9pm -5pm.
If you were stranded on a desert island what three things
would you want with you?
A friend, they can share the experience. My watch. You
never know who I might bump into, which would take me on to the third
essential item "my prada aftershave".
