Zara for The Inheritance / Channel 4
Age: 36
From: London
Occupation: Professional Gamer
Why did you apply to take part?
“I had just been here for about three months in the UK, coming from the Middle East, I had done some modelling in the past and I was considering my next move. In a really weird way, I believe I’ve manifested this. I’ve always asked this question to people on my channel – what would you do if you were ever on a reality show? What kind of reality show would it be? For me, I knew it would be something about money and puzzles to be solved, that’s my kind of thing so this feels perfect.”
Tell us more about yourself!
“I’m a gamer girl, but I’m also very silly and friendly and very approachable. I love being goofy, and I like making other people laugh, so hopefully I’ll bring that side of entertainment. I may come across as friendly and I am, but I do have another side, and my other side’s very… well, just be careful! I’m one of those people that if I’m not happy about something, I will have to say it. I’ll stand up for myself because I don’t want to go to sleep thinking you should have said this or that!”
Are you good at influencing others?
“With guys, it’s easy, because I can kind of just flirt away and get my way. Haha! I’m very easy-going with girls. I believe in girl power and things like that. I will back you up until you give me a reason not to, you know? So don’t break my trust!”
What would you spend the money on?
“You’ve got to have money to make money. That’s my mindset. I really want to put it back into investments. My number one dream is I really want to own a house. I would love to own a home in Greece. I’ll continue doing what I do now on gaming and stuff like that because I love that so that will absolutely always be a part of my plan.”
The Inheritance begins tonight at 9pm on Channel 4.
