What’s your karaoke song? Anaconda by Nicki Minaj (pun intended).

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself? When I was a small child I used to think that the pick ‘n’ mix in the L&N (now Super Valu) was free so I would casually go along with my mother for the weekly shop and plonk myself down on the bags of mosspeat that lay next to the pick ‘n’ mix and munch away for the hour, happy out and then leave the shop like a boss!

Best-ever holiday? When I went to Kusadasi with my cousin. Let’s just say we shouldn’t have made it home alive. It was quite eventful to the point of no return. I’ll leave it at that!
