1. What are you most afraid of?

Snakes give me the shivers!

2. If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would it be?

Strictly Come Dancing. I don’t watch that show, but I’m absolutely terrible at dancing, so maybe after a month trapped inside it, I’d pick up a few moves!

3. If you could have only one meal every day forever, what would it be?

Two egg sandwiches for breakfast (one spread in toast, the other mixed with salad cream in plain bread) and a pepperoni pizza for dinner.

4. What was your favourite book when you were in primary school?

The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

5. What is your favourite word(s)?

Thwack!
