How has your experience been at 5FM so far?
It’s been really fascinating, especially in terms of making the adjustment to commercial radio. The team is absolutely amazing and really supportive, and it has been exciting meeting new people.
On a scale of 1-10 how funny would you say you are and why?
A solid 5. I don’t consider myself hilarious, but I know that I’ve got a really great sense of humour.
What is one thing you will never do again?
Eat space cookies!
Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion?
Spice Girls shoes! I think platform shoes are so versatile and really cute, and since we’re doing platforms shoes, we might as well take it all the way there.

Oprah, Gabrielle Union Wade (and baby Kaavia), Tracee Ellis Ross and Rihanna.
