What’s the best thing about being home?
Eating food, I can’t stop.
What do you miss most about island life?
Being with all the people having your little family there all the time.
What was your most memorable moment?
Being picked by the tigers but also sticking it out and going on to win later, I will never forget that.
Worst part of the Shipwrecked experience?
The long drop, the smell, the mosquitoes. Shipwrecked was a life changing experience but a hard one as well.
Who did you get on best with?
Sarah and Rebecca the twins- I love them both so much they’re amazing, funny people and we will be friends for life. I also love Matt he’s such a lovely genuine guy.
Anyone you won’t miss?
Vicky - I’ve never met anyone that can wind me up as much as that girl.
Who did you fancy?
Matt he’s so good looking and he’s got an amazing personality.
Would you do it all again?
Absolutely, tomorrow if I was asked. Even though I moaned I loved every minute.
Would you recommend it to anyone else?
Yes but I would warn them it’s not as easy as it looks.
How has the experience changed you?
I’m much more confident and I stand up for myself a lot more.
Was being “shipwrecked” what you had expected?
No I went on shipwrecked so naïve. I must have been stupid I genuinely thought we wouldn’t really be on the island starving, we would have more food and stuff. So when I realised I was wrong it was a shock.
What does the future hold for you now?
Me and the twins are planning to move to Australia together for a while so hopefully that will happen.
