Why have you said yes to Scared In The Dark?

To be honest, all of my career in this mad industry has been made up of fun and quirky opportunities. Whether it's going to Namibia, or doing I'm a Celeb, or watching the TV with my family, it's all been a little bit outside the box. So I think, whenever I get given an opportunity I just grab it with both hands, because I think, "Who else is ever going to get to do this?" Do you know what I mean? So I always just go, "Yeah, of course. Yeah."

Are you scared of the dark?

I'm not scared of the dark, well, I'm scared of what's in the dark. If that makes sense. So I'm not scared of night time. You know when you turn the light off in your bedroom, and then you run to your bed? I feel like I still do that. So I feel like I'm not scared of the dark, but I'm not a massive fan of it.

Do you have any other fears or phobias?

I don't really like clowns. But I feel like even if they were in the dark, I'd not be able to see them, so that's fine. I don't know if I'm going to be really good at the challenges or not because I can't see what's happening, or if that's going to be worse, it's going to have the other effect and my brain starts going, "But what if it's this? What if this is happening?" So I feel like I'm actually quite curious to see how I handle scenarios because I'd like to think I'm quite a strong person.

What's your biggest worry about this experiment?

Hopefully the people are lovely because it's quite a long time to be in that environment. I'm sat here, I've got my Nintendo, I've got my phone, I'm on a laptop. I'm a very electronics kind of girl. I think that's what I'm a bit apprehensive about, is everyone going to be nice? And am I going to be bored? Because my screen time on my phone is far too much, it is, I need to get off my phone a bit. The thing that I'm actually scared of is not having TikTok for a week!

How do you think you're going to cope?

The thing is, I don't know whether I'll just have the giggles all the time, because it is quite funny being in the dark, or you know when people are on fight or flight or whatever? I'm more of a just stand still and see what happens person. So I'm honestly really curious. I'm hoping that I last till the end. That's my main goal, is to actually see it all through. But I can't guarantee that, do you know what I mean? But hopefully I'll be all right.

Do you think it’ll impact your other senses?

Well, hopefully people can't smell more, because I doubt I'll be going in the shower a lot. I've bought a couple of tins of deodorant. And then I stupidly, cut all the tags out of my clothes, right? And then I was like, "Oh, no. I'm not going to know if I've got clothes on back to front”. I wear bright colours. I've brought leggings that are leopard print and I'm not even going to know what I'm wearing or anything. If ever we get a bit of light and I see what I'm wearing, think I'll be like, "Turn the lights back off."

What are you going to do about hair and makeup?

Well, I've brought dry shampoo. So hopefully, I'm using dry shampoo and not deodorant. I'll give it the old sniff test to double check. Do you know what I'd like to think? "Oh, I'll still put a bit of bronzer on and that." Even though it's in the dark,

you're still on telly and that. But It's going to be next to impossible to do anything. I’m very, very excited to just rough it. I'll definitely brush my teeth, but the shower scenario is a bit scary. I'm so clumsy. Do you know what I mean? I know my own house and my own bath and shower, and I still slip and slide. Maybe, I don't know, by day four, I'll give it a go or something. Basically, everybody will be able to smell me coming. They'll be like, "There she is."

Are you worried about mishaps, like getting in the wrong bed or touching something you shouldn’t?

Well, this is what I was thinking as well. I'm going to try and hopefully make friends with everyone. If we need to get from A to B, we just hold hands.

You could end up with somebody having a long conversation and everybody else has left the room…

Me, it's going to be me! Because I do, I chat all day long. And I know that people are just going to walk away from us, but it's fine.

What do you think you're going to bring to the group?

I think I'm good for morale. If there are proper physical challenges, I might let the team down there. But what I lack in talent, I make up for in charisma! So I'm going to just try my best, and be a cheerleader for everybody.

Do you think you'll get competitive in the challenges?

It depends who's in there, because I'm a bit competitive, but not too much. Do you know what I mean? I don't let it affect us if I don't win.

Are you up for pranking while you're in there?

Yeah. I'm not going to be annoying, but I do think it'll break up the day a bit. We could just scare each other all day long. I think it'll be fun. I think it'll be a laugh. Just make ghost noises from the corner, can you imagine?
