You are back again for the new series of 'Wicked', but with a different co-presenter- is it strange? It is strange but in a good way! When I started 'Wicked' I was working with Lilli who has bundles of experience! So I followed her everywhere and shadowed her every move! I wasn't a stalker though, mind you! But now I am a leader for Nadia!
How does Nadia differ from Lilli? Nadia adds a bit of an international flair to 'Wicked'! She is so expressive, smiley and enthusiastic! She is full of questions and is fabulous at interviewing! However not as good as me! She also has a great deal of patience and is able to deal with my diva strops! She stops me from eating chocolate at breakfast, which I am not happy about! Lilli let me do what I wanted to do...but Nadia is a good replacement! Of course, I am irreplaceable!
You do seem rather big-headed! Do you enjoy watching yourself on TV? Of course! I watch myself on repeat all day! Although sometimes I find it hard to understand myself on TV as I have to adapt my Birmingham accent- but I've been practising in the mirror for this series...sshh, don't tell anyone!
Describe yourself in three words... Exquisite, sophisticated- verging on snobbish!!
'Snobbish'? That's an interesting choice of words- explain! Well I refuse to wear anything but designer clothes! Nadia has control of my credit card as I spend far too much! When I got my first pay cheque for my first job ('Next' shop), I went out and bought a Louis Vuitton 'Weekend' bag for nearly £700- a whole month's wage...I still hang my head in shame!
How does Series 2 compare with Series 1? It is definitely more exciting! There is a bigger crew and more activities which we can get involved in, such as the go-karting! The crew had to chase after me to get me out of the race track as I was too excited to stop! Of course I threw my daily strop and gave them a piece of my mind when they stopped me. Hopefully they have learnt their lesson- to leave the diva alone! The next day a bouquet of flowers were sent to me as an apology so I forgave the crew!
How do you feel about the replacement of Dr. Buff? I am still grieving! I am having regular counselling sessions with Dr. Buff in an attempt to get over it- it doesn't seem to help!
But what about the impressive Big Chief No-Hear? Do you think there may be a 'Wicked' romance developing in the horizon? Oooh...I do have my suspicions! Nadia has developed a habit of leaving rather suddenly after our regular shopping trips and making her way to a tepee...I suppose they share the same love for the sun!
What's your favourite memory from the original series of Wicked? It has to be when I bumped into Peter Andre at the London Marathon. I've met him a few occasions now! The first time I met him, we had a little heart to heart about our Greek roots- he knew a bit of sign language. So when I saw him again at the London Marathon he recognised me- I feel there is something spiritual in the air between us...I am definitely on Camp Peter!
