Who would you love to have dinner with and where?
‘My family. I’d really like to do that in Antarctica. I’ve always had that on my bucket list, to go to Antarctica and to jump in the water.’
Last meal on the planet?
‘I’m probably going to link to something that I really like and something that I would miss. I am guessing that the last meal would actually be irrelevant. Whatever it is that I’m going to be eating, hopefully it fills the gap down there and it leaves me satisfied.’
