How did you prepare yourself mentally and physically to take part?
“Physically, I’m quite a fit person and I like to go to the gym. I run on the weekends and am part of a run club. Mentally it’s been my family and friends support mainly. They’re my rock.”
How far would you go to win the £100k and what would you spend it on?
“I’m a team player. I believe in playing fair, in equality, that there’s strength and power in numbers. But we’ll have to see. I just want to make sure I play a fair game. I’d get on the property ladder. I’m not a very materialistic person so I’m thinking long term rather than short term.”
What do you think it takes to win this show?
“I think it takes strategy. But I don’t think I’m going to go down the strategic route. I’m just going to be me and hopefully the rest will just follow. Positivity all around.”
What brings out your competitive side?
“Literally anything, I’m a very competitive person. Whether it’s sports or academics, I’m an all round competitive person. I like to win and I definitely don’t give up. I like to give my all.”
Do you have a strategy for how you are going to play the game?
“I think I’ll form alliances with people, not based on their knowledge but more on their personality and who they are. I believe in understanding people’s characters and working with them. I’m sure we’ve all got our own abilities and strengths, so we just need to come together. I’ll definitely be a team player.”
Destination X continues Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm on BBC One.
