What’s your karaoke song? It’s safe to say singing is not one of my strong points, so I generally try to stay away from karaoke.

Best-ever holiday? A trip to Australia in 2006 with my family.

If you won the lotto what would you buy first? A one-way ticket to Las Vegas.

Separated at birth, who’s your celebrity twin double? It definitely would have to be Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
