What do you like doing on your day off?
Spending time with family and friends, nothing too fancy.
If you were to . choose your favourite meal what would it be, where
and why?
Anything Italian, anywhere in Italy.
What has been your proudest moment?
Probably getting into university, especially as I had to move away and
do everything for myself. Getting through first year, without Sky Sports
for the first few months is a big thing to me.
What was the most frightening moment of your life?
I nearly drowned in Florida as a child, but in hindsight I just find it
funny.
How would you describe your taste in clothes?
I have an extensive collection of band t-shirts.
What would you do if you won a million pounds?
Go travelling, buy a season ticket at Old Trafford and buy my parents a
nice house.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
I have far too many.
What music do you like?
More or less anything that isn't heavy metal, classical or jazz.
What sports person do you most admire?
David Beckham - I'm a big fan of his tattoos and he played for United.
Describe your best ever holiday. What would your dream holiday be?
Two years ago I went to Thailand with my best friend, Kerri. I visited a
temple in Bangkok during a religious holiday, which was incredible. I'm
dying to visit Jamaica, and travelling round Italy is on my bucket list.
What is your greatest remaining ambition?
To make it as a journalist. I would love to move to America for work or
join the Sky Sports News team. Aside from that, getting married and
having babies.
If you could spend a day with a celebrity whom would you choose?
I would love to spend a day with Jay-Z, he's had an interesting life
thus far so he'd have some good stories to share. Hopefully he'll write
a song about this day we'll spend together.
If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you
want with you?
My iPod, a book to read, and someone interesting to talk to.
