“I quite like the element of charity shops not being sorted out.”

“I quite enjoy getting glammed up and I enjoy picking outfits and things. You have to not really listen to what anyone else says, as long as you feel comfortable, because if you're not, when you're presenting that comes across.”

“I accidentally make innuendos all the time without even realising. I'm middle-aged, in that sense.”

“I don't go through life thinking I'm on a conveyer belt I can't jump off, but sometimes it's helpful to think that things are out of your control.”

“I think your musical tastes are largely shaped at a young age by your parents, as they're in charge of what's on in the car.”

“Mum was ahead of the curve with healthy lunchboxes with grapes in sandwiches. There was always an apricot, raisins and pieces of apple.”

“Student TV and radio are great grounding for all presenting. Just to get used to coming up with an idea, making it and getting it out there, I think that's a really good pattern and a good habit to get into.”

“There's a lot of places where you can go to understand and to learn what it is that British nationalists believe and feel, and to see them in a political setting.”

“I'm scared of having a messy end, but not dying itself. It's inevitable.”

“I tend to do stuff that is in some way tongue in cheek or humorous or has a kind of wry side to it.”

“Because I'm so pale, I am basically like a new-born fish, you can see my heart through my chest, like I'm see-through, I'm so blue.”

“Radio is immediate and experimental. It's really lo-fi - you can have an idea, go out and record something, come back in and just put it on air.”

“Even if you don't think you filter your life on social media, by its very nature you're only showing part of yourself.”

“We all make snap judgments on small amounts of information. We do it all the time with online dating, deciding whether to spend time someone on the basis of a short blurb and three pics.”

“Grottaglie itself is really famous for its figurative and 'splatter' paint ceramics - the figurative motifs are absolutely beautiful and the workshops in the town produce them all by hand so each design is unique.”

“But I think if you do have a job that has quite a few elements to it, then it does mean you get to flex different muscles and different parts of your brain, which I do like.”

“The Goose Fair was the cornerstone of the city's year. The smell of fairs is amazing: deep-fried donuts, hot dogs, the frying of onions. You never wanted to eat all your baby pink candyfloss - it was so sickly sweet - but seeing it made with a stick around the barrel was like magic.”

“My boyfriend's a real chef, so I steer clear of him when I'm in the kitchen - I wouldn't like him to catch me chopping an onion.”

“Our food style is no fuss - no jus or froth - hearty food like your mum might cook for you, and seasonal.”

“My brother Max is three and half years younger than me but more of a fussy eater.”
