Favourite TV show to cheer you up:

The Lion Man. Although I have pretty much seen them all I don’t mind turning on a repeat to chill out to and cheer me up. It’s light entertainment that I find highly interesting.”

TV show that reminds you of your childhood:

Arthur. I think he is so adorable and reminds me of been a child. I still watch it now when it’s on and I’m not embarrassed about admitting that!”

Favourite “guilty pleasure” TV show:

“This has to be Geordie Shore. It’s so wrong but so right. I feel bad for watching it but they do entertain me.”

TV show that you find most addictive:

Keeping up with the Kardashians or any of their spin offs! I get totally engrossed in their lives.”

Axed TV show that you most wish would return:

“It has to be Friends. I want to see what has happened to them as adults. I’ve grown up watching them. It’s one of very few shows that makes me laugh.”
