What are you like first thing in the morning?

I'm a lark so I'm good in the mornings. Always with a coffee, though. That's a very important way to start the day off.

What's your worst habit?

My house is usually really tidy, except for my own areas like my wardrobe and anywhere I keep office things. For some reason, they're always untidy.

If you're at home alone, what will you do?

You'll sometimes find me wearing my pyjamas all day watching true-crime documentaries. It's one of the reasons I loved working on the series Murdertown. It's fascinating finding out how people solve crimes. The show brings together the voices of the people who worked on trying to solve these crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice. I find that very satisfying.

What makes you most happy?

Family and friends. I'm at my happiest when I'm with the people I love.

What scares you most in life?
