Career so far:

After successful stints at MI6, the SAS, Navy Seals, Commandos, Royal Protection Squad, Vice, CTU, CIA, FBI, the Fantastic Four, A Team, Knightrider, The Impossible Mission Force, Pathfinders, Models One, Bungle from Rainbow and chief fryer at Burger King, I felt I needed more excitement. Software Licensing Services in Epsom offered me just that.

If you could be anyone else for a week, who would you be and what would you do?

My boss. I would reduce my targets and increase my basic salary and bonus.

Cloud - friend or foe?

More in the vein of Forbidden Love with a bit of Single White Female meets Gladiator thrown in.

Has 2011 been as bad as everyone said it would be?

How bad did everyone say it would be?

What would you have as your last meal?

Something from an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

Who would you like to be stuck in a lift with?

A lift mechanic.

Have any of your predictions come true this year?

Yes. I predicted none of my predictions would come true.

What do you see as the channel's biggest challenge in 2012?

Stopping all those charity fundraisers trying to swim across it.

What is the best part of your day?

11.07am. It's when the postman arrives - he is such a hottie.
