You are only able to do one exercise for the rest of your life. What exercise do you choose to do?

It’s a tie between trail running our mountains and kettlebell work!

My fuchsia pink Valentino tan go platform pumps and my butter cream teddy fur coat.

What are three items that we can find at any given time in your fridge?

Liquid egg whites, spinach and chillis

Your go-to cheat meal is...?

There is no such thing as a cheat meal. It would mean I’m doing something forbidden, and no food is off-limits. My fave comfort meal is chicken curry and roti, lol.

What one thing has caught your attention on social media in the last week?

Celebrities coming out that they’re queer to gain relevance. Insincerity to remain topical is cringey and insulting to the LGBTQIA+ community.

Drake, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee. Do I need to say more?

What is the biggest misconception people have of you?

That I’m the loudest person in the room just because I’m confident, but I don’t need to make a noise to be heard or seen.

You are going to be stuck on an island for a year but can have one celebrity with you, one book, and a song with you. What are your choices?

Bear Grylls.

Haven’t read in ages. With four kids? When, lol? It will have to be my emails.

Anything from Justin Biebs.

How would you like to be remembered?

As someone who changed many women’s lives.
