I worked at a summer camp in New York - I was a camp counsellor and stayed after camp to work in the kitchen and on the lake 


I worked in a 4* hotel in Lanzarote - it was hell and I will never go back, the only good thing was making new friends and getting a tan 


I used to go horse riding and we had our own horse years ago called Chino 


I volunteered to be a photographer for a local radio station my friend worked for - there was free wine 💁🏼 


I have a degree in hospitality management from the University of Central Lancashire, I graduated in 2016


I was knocked down by a Range Rover when I was 17, fractured my wrist and this is why I now have carpal tunnel syndrome
