Q.Why did you want to take part in the series?
A. I wanted to see how other people lived. I suppose it's that nosiness in me. I also wanted to make people over and use my styling skills on men who aren't multi millionaires or celebrities, but down to earth, normal men.
Q. What did you enjoy most about the programmes?
A. Working with Colin was a joy. And I enjoy hearing back that the wives were really impressed. To hear a thank you and praise tells me that I did the job.
Q. What do you feel the men learnt from you?
A. That it's the little things that count. And they began to learn about fashion. And when they next go shopping they will take my style tips on board and not just buy any old jumper or any old jeans. But they will think, 'do these jeans actually suit me?'.
Q. Do you think the good work will last?
A. I hope it will last and think it will. I think it opened their eyes to the fact that if it doesn't last then ructions will happen again. I have faith. Before we came along they thought that women did housework all day and that was their excuse for not doing it. Now they know that some of it can be done in half an hour.
Q. What did you learn from the whole experience?
A. I learnt that cows are cattle and cattle are cows
Q. Do you feel most straight men could learn something if they had a visit from the Fairy Godfathers?
A. Definitely, even if it's just one thing that they learn, it's a start isn't it.

Q. What do you do when you're not being a Fairy Godfather?
A. I'm a stylist. I do personal shopping for business people, entrepreneurs and socialites and I work with actors for red carpet events.
Q. What's your idea of a perfect romantic evening?
A. To be spoilt, totally spoilt, with alcohol, chocolates and constant cuddles.
Q. What's your favourite drink?
A. A pint of Stella.
Q. What music do you like to listen to?
A. Cheesy pop and slow tunes.
Q. Where do you get your ideas from?
A. All different things. I like people watching. I constantly see things in magazines, television, films, the theatre, anywhere. I constantly see things and make mental notes.
Q. Where do you like to go shopping?
A. I like Harvey Nicks, Selfridges and I do like popping into Topman.
Q. What's your most treasured item of clothing?
A. It's not really clothing, but I do love my 'Nicky B' necklace – It's just like Carrie's from 'Sex and the City'.
