Personal Hero:

My nan. She’s a general class act, plus she did charity work at the local hospital until the age of 90. If I can proceed through life with the same generosity and good nature, I will consider mine a life well lived.

7 things I would like to do if I were given the chance:

1. I realise it’s unlikely but… go to space
2. See the Northern Lights (ideally from space)
3. Start a successful business
4. Work for a charity
5. Learn more languages
6. Own a season ticket for Derby County Football Club
7. Learn to ski. I tried it once. It’s impossible.
