I think you regret the things that you don't do more than the things you do.

God, I don't think of myself as gorgeous at all!

Filming 'It's Not Rocket Science' has made me realise I'm missing the part of my brain that warns me about danger because - even though the tasks are terrifying - I find it really exciting.

I think the word 'celebrity' is stupid.

I like being known for being good at maths and having a brain. If I've been asked to do something but it's not relevant to me, I don't do it. I'd feel a bit of an idiot just turning up in a dress.

Very fitted dresses look much better on TV, even though in reality they might be so tight that I can barely move in them.

Winter is my favourite season for clothes because I'm happiest wearing knitted dresses, leggings, and Uggs.

I'm 5ft 7in tall and a size six to eight on top and eight to ten on the bottom. Consequently, I get a lot of my clothes altered to fit, as I am always between sizes.

I would just like to learn to control my limbs.

I've had the 'Countdown' theme-tune as my mobile phone ringtone for years.

I've been a fan of 'Countdown' for as long as I can remember, and this is a dream job.

I only applied for 'Countdown' as a bit of a laugh while applying for lots of other graduate jobs. I've had some amazing opportunities, and I've loved every minute.

The paso doble is my favourite dance on 'Strictly,' so I'm so pleased I get to do it.

Being bad at maths shouldn't be something to brag about, and I'm glad people are waking up to this, but there's no reason be embarrassed to look for help when it comes to numeracy.

'I'm a Celebrity' is not my cup of tea whatsoever. I don't like the animal cruelty in it, to be honest.

For my 21st birthday party, I had a 'Strictly'-themed fancy dress.

When I was at uni, our whole college bar would gather around the quiz machine for a few games every night.

The best thing about 'Strictly' is it doesn't matter what level you start at, if you've never put a foot in front of the other in your life.

In school productions, I was always villager No. 7. I was never at the front of the stage dancing and never had any lines.

University was a shock to the system. At times, I really thought I couldn't do it. It's the same with 'Strictly.' I'm completely out of my comfort zone.
