Favourite Food: I'm a bit of a carnivore so if there's fillet steak on the menu, it's mine. Rare!
Favourite Holiday Destination. With four little ones, I've been force-fed all things Disney - so I've grown to love Orlando. However, if I ever had the chance to return (sans kids) to Sandy Lane, Barbados that would be my dream trip.
Favourite Film: Dead Poets Society
Best Advice Received: Never be fearful about what you’re doing if it’s right.
Worst Advice Received. Never trust your gut feeling.
Ideal Dinner Guests: Robin Williams, Leonardo di Caprio, Stephen Fry, Kevin Bridges, Joey Tribbiani ( the character, not Matt Le Blanc) Phoebe Buffay (same) Angelina Jolie, Dr Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay.
Best Career Moment: Being nominated for a Sony award alongside Radio 1 and Radio 2 for my daft wee afternoon show on Clyde 1.
Worst Career Moment: Counting down to Glasgow Fireworks in front of 90,000 – three times - on Glasgow Green before they finally went off. I was crying inside.
Favourite Music. I’m obsessed with all things David Bowie, but I also play classical piano so I’m partial to a bit of Beethoven on Classic FM.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
