Why did you apply to take part in The Inheritance?
I had just been here for about three months in the UK, coming from the Middle East, I had done some modelling in the past and I was considering my next move. In a really weird way, I believe I've manifested this. I've always asked this question to people on my channel - what would you do if you were ever on a reality show? What kind of reality show would it be? For me, I knew it would be something about money and puzzles to be solved, that’s my kind of thing so this feels perfect.

What do you think you'll bring to the game?
I'm a gamer girl, but I'm also very silly and friendly and very approachable. I love being goofy, and I like making other people laugh, so hopefully I'll bring that side of entertainment. I may come across as friendly and I am, but I do have another side, and my other side's very...well, just be careful! I'm one of those people that if I'm not happy about something, I will have to say it. I'll stand up for myself because I don't want to go to sleep thinking you should have said this or that!

Would you call yourself a team player?
Yeah, I think so. I'm more of a team player. It does depend on the scenario, though. I don't want to follow the herd, and I do want to be heard! I like having my own voice.

Would you say you're competitive? You’re a gamer, so…
I'm quite competitive. Sometimes I like to sit back and just watch. I like to soak it in at first and then just see. What do other people do? I kind of observe, but not for too long, because I definitely want to get in there and play. I'm definitely a gamer at heart.

How are your powers of persuasion? Would you say you're good at influencing others to your way of thinking?
With guys, it's easy, because I can kind of just flirt away and get my way. Haha! I'm very easy-going with girls. I believe in girl power and things like that. I will back you up until you give me a reason not to, you know? So don't break my trust!

If you succeed, and you walk away with a large amount of money, what do you plan to spend it on?
You’ve got to have money to make money. That's my mindset. I really want to put it back into investments. My number one dream is I really want to own a house. I would love to own a home in Greece. I'll continue doing what I do now on gaming and stuff like that because I love that so that will absolutely always be a part of my plan.
