What is one thing people may be surprised to find out about you? I wouldn’t really say I’m very surprising! But I can put both legs behind my head if that counts… aha. As a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? Becoming a member of Westlife was probably my first ambition, closely followed by being a contortionist. I’m sad to say that I’ve achieved neither.
What were you doing before modelling and do you miss it? Well I was 16 when I started so I would have just finished school. So no, I don’t miss it! I only miss the 40p double chocolate doughnuts and my favorite teachers. Describe a favorite childhood memory: Having the best Beyblades in my school when I was 7 sounds so lame but I was genuinely proud.
What’s the best thing you’ve ever done? The best thing I’ve ever done was learn to be independent… so a round of applause for my parents Sally and Jon.
