Meal: Hmm, anything homemade! But my favourite meal has to go to a good avo smash with goats’ cheese. It’s too good and never disappoints. Movie: I’m a sucker for a psychological thriller. I reckon it’s scarier than a horror and I love trying to guess what the answer is (and quietly pride myself on getting it right!). Movies like Seven , Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train . TV Show: I’ve been watching Game of Thrones and I probably could never say no to Friends . It’s too hard to pick my favourite of all time but Saved by the Bell [pictured left], The…
