Why did you sign up for Celebrity Hunted?
I always want to go on an adventure. I love adventures and challenges. It’s a thing that a lot of people don’t get the opportunity to do. And the fact that it’s for Stand Up To Cancer makes it even better.
Are you good at teamwork?
I’m very good at teamwork, after spending 11 years on Made in Chelsea you’re good at teamwork.
Do you think that doing it with your husband Gareth with work in your favour?
There haven’t been very many married couples and we’re actually calling this our honeymoon because we haven’t had a honeymoon yet. So, this is our official honeymoon. Hopefully we’re still together at the end.
What do you think Gareth’s strengths are?
He’s the most stubborn man in the entire world in a competitive way. I’m slightly more of a dreamer. So between us we can add tenacity and fairy-tale all at the same time.
What are his weaknesses?
If he doesn’t eat, he becomes a bit of a knob, I’ll say that differently, if he doesn’t eat, he can be slightly more difficult. So, let’s hope he’s fed. I’ve got a banana and a Mars bar in my bag at all times.
Is earning spending money going to be a priority?
I will do anything I possibly can to make sure he’s fed. Otherwise that it will end in divorce. Being recognisable around Britain helps because I think we might be able to call on some lovely people that might be able to help us.
What tactics will you use to evade the Hunters?
We do love a good decoy, so we’ve got that, and I think they might underestimate us slightly because I think they might just think we’re Chelsea. But we’ve got some ideas to stay ahead.
What do you think of the Hunters?
They have a job to do. They seem quite scary bunch, but we’ll soon find out. I think if we smile through, it might be fine.
Do you have a strong network ready to help you?
Luckily, we know lots of people around the UK so we might have a slight advantage.
Do you think your fame will help you or hold you back?
That’s a double-edged question because yes it will absolutely hold us back because if people want photos they will put them up on social media. However, we can always call on them to help us out when we’re in need.
How are your survival skills?
Luckily Bear Grylls taught me everything he knows on The Island five years ago so we might be OK, just! And I’m a strong fisherman, weirdly, so rivers of the UK beware.
Are you competitive?
Gareth is the competitive one, I do the jokes really. But Gareth will put me back into my box.
The show supports Stand Up To Cancer are you proud to be supporting such a great cause?
I will always support Stand Up To Cancer as long as I possibly can. It’s a privilege to work with them.
Has your own life ever been touched by cancer?
I think all of our lives have been touched by cancer and anything you can do to help the issue is great. It would be silly not to.
Is there anything that’s going to make you want to contact your family or friends back at home?
The only thing I’ve got is my two dogs – they worry me enormously. If I’m going to crack it’s because of those two dogs that I’m dying to see.
Has anyone given you any tips?
Jamie Laing spoke to me, so has Lydia Bright and there have certainly been tips from those two, you might even see Lydia in the programme.
Do you have any hidden skills or talents you can tell us about?
I’m weirdly a good runner and a good jumper. I’m not sure how that’s going to help in this, but it could help get me out of a difficult position.
Have you ever worn a disguise?
No, but you’ll definitely be seeing that.
Have you ever used a fake name?
Yes in the past. Generally it helps when I use them for restaurants. I always feel sorry for Ollie Locke the rugby player having to use that name because he’ll get the worst table in the house…
What vehicles can you drive or operate?
I can drive. I’m not an HGV qualified person but I can give it a go. I have a boat, so I can sail, and I have my powerboat licence too. So, there’s something I can do.
Are you good at travelling light?
I’m a stickler for cleanliness so I always have antibacterial wipes, but as long as I have that and clean underwear I should be alright.
Have you watched the show and learned from previous celebrities’ mistakes?
I have had a look and it seems like everyone goes on their own journey with this. I think don’t do too much planning and see where you end up.
How are you under pressure?
I’m better under pressure than not.
Can you slum it?
I’m weirdly quite good at that. I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to slum it.
What will you miss most about your normal life?
My mobile.
Will your friends and family lie for you if they get questioned by The Hunters?
Yes, I’ve told them they have to! They have no choice.
What will be hardest about living off the grid for you?
Not going to restaurants.
