Passion outside TV

I love going on long walks with my partner and our two beautiful dogs. I also like watching and playing tennis – mostly watching, as my knees don’t like me playing tennis any more.

Devastating rejection

There’s nothing more devastating than when you’ve done one or two interviews for a job and they don’t even come back to you.

Actually, more disappointing than devastating. Why would you want to work for a company that doesn’t even contact its candidates after interviewing them?

Last time I cried

Watching the whole run of Pose over the Christmas break. I was late to the party on this show, and the episode with Candy in series two made me cry like a baby.

My mentor

My mum instilled a very strong work ethic in me from a young age. She also taught me right from wrong – and to always be kind.

Career ambition

As long as I’m working with kind people who look after each other, laugh and have fun, then I’m happy. That’s why I love the ethos at Goat Films, which has introduced a ‘kindness’ policy.

Holiday destination

I never tire of the beauty of Cornwall, which I visit regularly with the dogs. Also Canada and Australia.

Bucket list item

I dream of opening a doggy day care or dog rehoming centre or owning and running a vineyard in Kent.

Sporting heroes

Venus and Serena Williams.

Signature dish

Jerk chicken.

Growing up I…

Would learn all the Five Star dance routines. Yes, I’m that old.
