WWhat are your main interests or hobbies?
Horse riding is my passion and we have two rescue horses - Pudding (17) and Sunny (12), who we take out for rides on most weekends. I also enjoy watching Formula 1, and going for a run or a hike, especially in the Peak District.
What music do you like – any specific genre or artists?
My mum and dad both collect vinyl records so I love loads of different artists, but Oasis is my all-time favourite band. I also like Sam Fender, Olivia Dean and Harry Styles, who I’ve seen in three times in concert.
What’s your favourite food?
I’m a massive fan of Asian foods, so I’d probably go for Pad Thai or an Asian Curry – although I do love a good burger and fries!
What TV show, film or boxset would you recommend to others?
Gavin & Stacey is a must-watch classic, and I also love Gogglebox, it’s the perfect ‘turn-off brain’ TV show.
Do you have a favourite book and why?
Great Gatsby is my favourite book because I studied in for my English Literature A level, but I also love anything by Sylvia Plath, the American author and poet.
Do you have a favourite holiday destination or place you’d love to visit?
South East Asia is an amazing place with beautiful scenery, great food and lots of things to do.
Do you have a favourite podcast?
I’m quite into audio books and I do like listening to some true crime podcasts but I don’t have a favourite.
What smartphone App could you not live without?
Spotify because I love listening to music, especially when I’m travelling.
