5 things I couldn`t live without...

1: My Car
I`ve been driving for almost a year and I can`t remember how I got around before.
I`ve got a white Toyota Starlet, which I treated myself to after I passed my test.
I drive everywhere and now understand why mum used to ask me for petrol money!
I`ve got a bouncing Tigger in it which my friend bought me, so he comes everywhere
I go. My ultimate car would probably be a silver BMW Z3.

2:My Phil Collins Album
It`s going to sound really sad but I`m a massive Phil Collins fan. My mum bought me
his greatest hits album for Christmas and it`s got all his classic stuff on it, like Another
Day In Paradise and One More Night. It`s wicked. I`m playing it in my car at the moment
so, needless to say I`m cranking it up! I`m not in love with him or anything but, until you
listen to all the brilliant songs he`s done, you tend to forget how good he is.

3: My Curries
Going for a curry is a great way to top off a night out and I love going to Indian restaurants in
Manchester. We filmed a scene in the Shere Khan restaurant recently for Tyrone`s birthday
and they took a picture of me and Alan, so next time I go in I`ll be up on the wall! When I
have a takeaway I have a madras but, when I`m out, I prefer something less spicy.
I love chutneys and naan breads. I usually do the works!

4: My Gym
I joined a gym near the studios, which is convenient as I can nip across from work in my lunch hour
or between scenes. I`ve started a new fitness programme and my instructor`s killing me! They give
you a fitness test and tell you how much body fat you`ve got, which is quite scary! I do weights and
the bikes and steppers for toning. I enjoy it as it relieves stress and tension. Then I have a swim and
a sauna, go home and fall asleep.

5: My mum
My mum`s brilliant. She`s always there for me and she does absolutely everything for me. I`ve been in
this business since I was eight and she`s always driven me to auditions - even if they`re far away as
London or Scotland. She`s been so supportive and has always told me to stick at it. For a treat I wanted
to take her to New York for her birthday, but she hates flying so she wouldn`t come! I took my auntie
instead - she`s like my second mum.
