Loves

The beach I've loved the beach my whole life and recently I've had the opportunity to move out to the Howth-Sutton area so I'm lucky enough to live right on the beach at the moment. It's my dream come true. Beautiful. Apart from the wind – no one told me about the wind when you live so close to the beach.

Music I've always been a huge music fan. The first question everyone asked me, especially when I worked for MTV, was 'What's your favourite music?' or 'What's your favourite band?' But I really don't have a niche genre of music that I love. I really like everything, bar heavy metal.

Really hot showers at the end of the day When the day is over, the last thing I love is a really hot shower. I can stand in it for hours and wash the day away.

Family get-togethers I'd have quite a small family so when the extended family – my aunts and my uncles and cousins – all get together, I love it. I have one brother, Jonathan, who's four years younger than me, so it's just the two off us. We get on really well, but I always wanted loads of brothers and sisters. The extended family meet up about once every three months.

'Criminal Minds' I'm convinced if I wasn't in the line of business that I'm in now that I would have loved to have been a profiler. I really like all those shows and when I watch them, I'm always trying to figure out who did it. I used to love CSI but I've moved on from it now.

Flying I hate it and I've always hated it. The irony is my dad is actually a pilot – he's a captain – so I've been on planes my whole life. I lived in England for five years and I was always coming back and forth so I've never let it stop me to that extent. But I'm still convinced every single time I step onto a plane that it's going to crash.

Camping I've tried it twice in my life and I tried really hard to like it because I hate being a person who says they don't like camping. But I don't understand what you're supposed to like about it and why people don't just go to a B&B.

Coconut I know it's really weird, but I hate it in Bounty bars and in Thai food. I can't eat it. I find the taste of it absolutely disgusting. I'm a bit picky about my food and there are a lot of foods I don't eat.

The Irish weather I spent all of last weekend putting away my winter clothes and ended up and having to dig them out again today. I find this weather really tough and if I wasn't so close to my friends and family I might move somewhere with better weather.

Debt I had a credit card when I was younger and I never got into trouble with it but if I used to have even €200 on it, I'd be awake at night worrying about it. I have no credit cards or loans now. If you don't have it, you simply don't spend it and if you want it, you save up for it. It's how I was raised.
