What do you think it takes to win this show?
“It probably takes quite a lot of knowledge. I’m worried about that because I’m only 26. The older people in the show will probably have more overall knowledge of the globe. But then if it’s physical challenges, I can excel in that. Knowing different sort of terrains from above might also help me.”
How far would you go to win the £100k and what would you spend it on?
“I’ll do whatever it takes to win the money, it would be very useful. I’d probably spend the money on training to fly another aircraft, like commercial flying. And then I’d also pay my mum and dad back for the money they forked out for flight school. And maybe a nice holiday for the family as well, for the sacrifices they’ve made for me.”
What assumptions will other players make about you?
“They might think I’m quite cocky but I just believe in self love. If you can’t love yourself, you can’t start to do things.”
Do you have a strategy for how you are going to play the game?
“I’m probably going to try and make a lot of friends. I want to use other people’s strengths to help me, pick a bit from everybody and listen to everybody. I really want to tap into the social side of it.”
Destination X continues Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm on BBC One.
