| Pet Hates: | I hate formulaic, processed pop bands. There are too many talentless, stylised groups around, just so the record companies can earn cheap money. I also hate the same sort of formulaic approach to Hollywood movies – no thought, no effort just film making by numbers. I hate laziness for the sake of being lazy. Rude people also wind me up big time. And people who don’t take responsibility for their actions. |
| Known for: | Being obsessively neat and organised! And loving the lime light! |
