What are you like first thing in the morning?

I sleep for seven hours a night and wake at 6.30am to 7am. I can’t snooze. I'm an early riser. It's in my DNA. After 30 years of getting out of bed at 3am [to work in the baking industry], you get used to getting out of bed and doing something. My alarm goes off, I tip out of bed and within 10 minutes I'm on the way to work.

What is your worst habit?

I'm stressing more as I'm getting older, and over the weirdest things, like, ‘Is the bin out? Have I put the right bin out?’ Where has that come from?

If you were home alone, what would you do?
