Tell us about your best holiday ever. My favourite holiday was when my mum, dad and I travelled over to America and Canada for a month. Tripping around in a jeep, visiting so many sights and catching up with family, who I haven’t seen in years. This will always be such a memorable holiday!

If you could have a super power, what would it be? If I had a super power, it would be to bring my beautiful Kristie back to us but I can’t, so I’d settle for being able to eradicate all cancers and stop the tragedy and heartbreak that goes with it.
