What’s the best thing about being home?
Boyfriend, Bed and Ratting!!!
What do you miss most about island life?
The sun, the sea, the people…and looking at the stars while having a wee!!
What was your most memorable moment?
This is hard, I have so many amazing memories but I think it would have to be when Nick, James and I snuck out to the edge of the reef to watch the sunrise.
Worst part of the Shipwrecked experience?
The food…the food…The Food!!!! I’m a horse and I love my food. I had absolutely no idea I was going to be practically starved for 3 months! Oh and no contact with home!
Who did you get on best with?
I still can’t believe how well we all got on…a whole load of strangers dumped on an island- I think we got on remarkably well! Obviously James and Nick were like my brothers out there but Diva and Carly are definitely friends for life.
Anyone you won’t miss?
Fred the fly and his buddy Mike the mosquito!!
Who did you fancy?
Sexy sexy Chops & Bacon (The Pigs)!
Would you do it all again?
Yes but only if I could do it exactly as I did it before!
Would you recommend it to anyone else?
You must be mad! No, in all honestly who in there right mind wouldn’t want to experience living on an island for 3 months?
How has the experience changed you?
I feel like a 10 year old again…anything is possible and the world is my oyster! I also think I appreciate everyday things (like loo role and soap) a lot more.
Was being “shipwrecked” what you had expected?
To be honest I didn’t have the foggiest what I was letting my self in for but it even more exciting as I didn’t have a clue what to expect. It came as a bit of a shock how much I missed home because I’d been away travelling for much longer in the past.
What does the future hold for you now?
Well hopefully lots more adventures…I’ve always been obsessed with wildlife so I think I’m gonna try and get into natural history.
