What advice would you offer your 16-year-old
self?
I'm a very positive person, and I'm happy with the way
things have turned out. But I would say, follow your heart, not
your head. I'm dyslexic, and I worried about not going to
Oxford, like my brother who's now a lawyer. But I followed my
passion and never regretted it.
What's your secret party trick?
It's more advice than a trick. Always be friendly to the
waiters - you'll get offered more food that way.
What's been your best holiday?
My honeymoon in Bali and Lombok. I get to travel a lot as an
athlete, but I rarely have proper holidays. We went for three
weeks. We started off in a nice hotel, but after three days we were
a bit bored, and traded in our suitcases for rucksacks and learnt
to scuba dive. I'd love to go back.
