How much do you spend a week? My food shop is expensive, i can’t deny it! i spend around £100 a week. Describe your daily diet… breakfast is usually porridge with a handful of raisins, and i’ll have scrambled eggs with avocado and chorizo sausage at the weekends. lunch is typically crackers with tuna and sweetcorn, or a tuna and onion salad. for dinner, i’ll have either a salmon, chicken or prawn stir-fry. i tend to snack on mixed nuts, or if i’m out and about i’ll grab a fruit yoghurt from pret. i’m not superhealt­hy every day, and when it comes to chocolate i have no willpower whatsoever. Is there anything you refuse to eat? i used to hate oysters because they were so slimy, but i tried them again recently with cheese and truffle and they tasted amazing. What’s the strangest thing you eat? sometimes i just love a salad cream sandwich. What would you cook to impress somebody? i’d probably make a paella with mussels and prawns. i learnt the recipe from my mum and sometimes i end up calling her so she can talk me through it!
