Why do you want to take part in The Hunt: Prey vs Predator? 

I think in life when opportunities are given to you, I think you should grab them, because life is not a rehearsal and we only get one shot at it.

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you’ll bring to this game.

I have led a wonderfully varied life. I've done some acting, dancing, and I’ve ran a business with family. I've been married three times. I have a wonderful son and three amazing stepsons. 

I think I'm a good friend. I am a supportive person. I am very strong as I’ve had many challenges in my life. I think I've got good energy, I've been told that, so I’ll bring that to the game. Physically, I am quite fit, but obviously I may not be the fittest. But I think it will be a bit more of just using my charm, I suppose. 

What are you like when playing games with friends and family? Would you say you’re competitive? 

Yes, I am competitive. I wouldn't say so much in games per se, but I like to win. So, I'll try my best. But you know, I won't throw my toys out of the pram if I don't win, but I do want to win.

How do you think you’ll fare better, as predator or prey?

I think I would prefer to be prey, because I think I would be quite good at hiding. I think I could get myself somewhere I wouldn't be seen or heard. 

Are you a team player? Do you think you’ll be good at building alliances and coming up with strategies?

I think I'll be good at building alliances because I get on with people, but I'm not a team player. I would be out for myself at the end of the day. 

If you were the ultimate winner, what would you spend your winnings on? 

I have a charity very close to my heart, which deals with domestic abuse, so I would love to give the majority to that. If it helps one person, I'll be happy, and it’ll help spread awareness of the charity’s amazing work. I will keep a little for myself because, one must own a Chanel handbag in life, and I would also treat my friends and family to something nice.
