An eighth day in the week – just for me, no one else.
I’d like my parents to be alive – I miss them.
If Dave and Robert came to dine.
Everyone cutting out social media for one day a week.
Dying: I’m too iconic to go.
Bad personal hygiene.
I was a secret shopper and had to do a lot of bookies – Coral and William Hill – all around London. For 18-year-old me looking all fab it was quite scary going in and saying: “Hiya, can I put £4 on No 7 horse, please?” But you got to keep the money when you won.
Racial and homophobic slurs – the F- and N-words. When I moved to London, people screamed the F-word from their cars, and that stings.
Falling flat on my face in Billy Elliot on Boxing Day when I was 14. I fell smack bang at the end of my number. I was mortified.
Fun, fab and fearless.
