Quote
"I'm a Sagittarius; I love people and being in the limelight. I hate gossipmongers, beetroot and jealousy and my philosophy is to live life to the full and never play the should've, would've, could've game.
"I don't think that I have an edge over the other contestants as I never underestimate other people. I've withdrawn three months before the show, both mentally and physically to prepare and focus on the game ahead.
"My worst fear? Well I would say needles are my worst fear, although I've had three tattoos in the past year. I'd say that the bravest thing that I've ever done would be this, entering the Fear Factor competition.
"The most physical thing I've ever done is white water rafting all day along the mighty Zambezi River.
"I don't have any doubts about the competition... well maybe the eating, I've always had a soft stomach and I might struggle to keep things down.
"I have no clue what being on Fear Factor will be like but I will try and keep an open mind and take each day as it comes."
