Channel 4: Did Bricking It live up to your expectations?
Soaps: I didn't have any expectations as I'd never worked in
construction or been on a TV programme, so I didn't know what to expect.
Channel 4: What was the best thing about Bricking It?
Soaps: I enjoyed the work most. I enjoy starting to work on something and having the sense of achievement when it's finished. I like being hands-on and getting things done.
Channel 4: And the worst thing?
Soaps: I thought there were times when we were spoken to like we were kids.
Channel 4: What was your high point?
Soaps: Getting picked by Dr Phil to help fit the kitchen – it was a satisfying thing to do.
Channel 4: And your low point?
Soaps: Being fired.
Channel 4: What do you think you'll do now?
Soaps: I'm going to apply to be a nurse. I will always do construction and make things myself, but I've decided I most want to go into nursing.
Channel 4: Any advice on working in construction?
Soaps: It is a difficult industry to work in, but if you really want it, stick at it. When you're just starting out people are going to be quite hard on you – but keep motivated.
Channel 4: And finally…
Soaps: I think I did work well, and that the work I did in the flat was to a very high standard.
