LIBBY SPILLS THE BEANS

IF YOU COULD HAVE DINNER WITH ANYONE WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

Other than my husband and daughter probably Roger Federer. I’d really like to hang out with him – he’s really cool and humble.

DO YOU WANT TO BE FAMOUS?

That’s a hard one for me. I guess I’ve grown up being in the spotlight on some level and it’s brought me lots of wonderful things. But if I could have a preference, probably not. Can I sit on the fence on this one?

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SANG TO SOMEONE?

This morning. My daughter makes me sing her Old MacDonald Had a Farm all the time.

WHAT ARE THREE THINGS YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND HAVE IN COMMON?

A sense of humour, we are both pretty stubborn, definitely, and other than that we both have a real fierceness about us.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST GRATEFUL FOR IN LIFE?

I know it’s really cliche and airy fairy but probably those little moments with family. It’s funny because I was able to live a very adrenalin-filled life with swimming and so I got to have these big moments and achieve awesome things. That is something I miss because it’s not my reality any more. But I get to celebrate little things every day with my daughter. I can go from being so incredibly frustrated with her and at the absolute end of my tether and then she will go, “Oh, I love you mummy” and I’m a mess on the floor going, “I can’t believe I’ve created you.”
