Without 'Countdown,' I'd probably still be a data analyst in London.

I use a stylist, which wasn't something I imagined I'd ever do, because I like shopping, but because we prerecord 'Countdown,' I don't want to wear something that everyone has from the high street by the time the programme goes out.

In school productions, I was always villager No. 7. I was never at the front of the stage dancing and never had any lines.

People have got their opinions, and you can't please everyone.

I've had inquiries for things like TV show 'Splash,' where people go out in front of the whole nation in a bikini. But I think bikinis are just for the beach.

I always say the side of me I show on 'Countdown' is the side I'd show to my gran.

I didn't realise until I did CBT that I was a perfectionist. Whenever you do anything, there are always going to be things that go wrong, it's never going to be 100 per cent perfect. Because of how I was, I'd focus on those bits and always see the negative in anything.

You can have your opinions, and you can share them with your friends, but why would you go online to tell a stranger something random about their appearance? I don't get that.

If I'm with someone, and I'm happy, that's enough.

I'm at my most fulfilled challenging myself with something that scares me.
