Dislikes: In-sincerity, Cockroaches and rice pudding Where did you go to school? Glenn-Bott Comp. Nottingham. Bilborough Sixth Form College. What was your favourite subject? Art & Drama Who or what inspired you to do what you are doing now? A combination of watching Musicals on TV as a kid & also watching my sister at dance class and I thought I'd give it a go! What was the last show you went to see? Did you enjoy it? A new play called 'Inflame' at the New Ambassadors Theatre - which I really enjoyed. Have you had any embarrassing moments on stage? I've fallen on my arse a few times but thankfully nothing worse than that…….yet! Out of ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and contemporary, what is your favourite? Jazz and Modern are my favourites although I really enjoy Tap - which there should be more of. If you could be someone else for the day, who would you be and why? There are many things I'd like to do and try but I'd want to do/try them as me - noone else. Can you play any musical instruments? If so, what? I can play the piano, Drums & Guitar (although none of them really well!) What is your favourite sport? I enjoy playing basketball and squash (although to be honest I haven't played either for a while). Swimming is my strongest sport but my Dad's a swimming teacher which helps!! What is your favourite film? As a kid it was 'Star Wars'. But if I had to choose it would be either 'Leon' or 'Some like it hot' If you werent "starring"; in shows, what would you be doing? I would have loved to be an animator - I've always enjoyed drawing; that or a stuntman! You have been in Summer Holiday, Grease and now Mamma Mia, which do you prefer? 'Copacabana' was my first big show and so has a lot of great memories, but I think 'Grease' because I had wanted to do it since I was a kid. You have been in Mamma Mia for a few months now, do you get a good response from the audience after every performance? The audience response is amazing! We're very lucky to be sold out every night and by the end of the show they're all on their feet cheering!! Do you get on well with the rest of the "Mamma Mia" cast? It's a really great company which helps - especially in a year's contract. What is your favourite song from the show? Waterloo - because it always gets the biggest reaction from the audience. What was the last cd that you brought? A friend recently brought me 'Travis: The man who' but I'm about to buy the Craig David C.D. You have five minutes to live, hoe do you spend that time? If I couldn't be with family or friends I'd like to be very pissed so I was completely unaware of what was going on! What are your ambitions in life? To have a family, to keep enjoying my work - whatever I'm doing; and be happy! Do you have any hidden talents? I have a very long tongue…!??*! What would you NOT do for a million pounds? Betray a close friend Tell us a secret . . . ... Maybe next time!
