What do you look forward to most about Christmas each year?
I get excited about Christmas way too soon. We start with Christmas movies really early and then I cannot wait to get the tree up.
What does the festive season mean to you?
Family and food, always. I love it when my family are over from Northern Ireland. My little boy was obsessed with Elflast year and he wasn't even two then. We ended up watching it until the end of March this year! He's moved on to Spider-Man now so hopefully we'll get a decent break before it starts again this Christmas. But we all know every word of that movie - we're very Elf-orientated in our house.
What are your plans for this year?
I'd love to go back home to Northern Ireland if we get a chance. Because of the football, we never know what my husband Frank is going to be doing so we have to work around that a little bit, but I'm also really happy being at home with the family. It may sound boring but I've never done a Christmas away in the sun. A lot of people take off and go abroad for Christmas, which is a lovely thing, but I like being at home and dancing in the kitchen and having a party-type feel. Whatever happens, this Christmas will definitely involve lots of gift-wrapping and home cooking.
