"This past year I’ve been travelling a lot more and really trying to watch what I put into my body, whether it’s food or alcohol. At home, I generally eat super healthy and try to exercise as much as I can. I used to run a lot of half marathons but the more I’m travelling, the less I feel like getting home and running so I’m really trying to change that. The travelling side of things doesn’t bother me too much, especially when I’m on a plane, as it means I can really get some work done. Although, saying that, I haven't seen my boyfriend for the past month as we’re constantly missing each other in different cities.

If I need to zone out, I always have a TV series and a few films with me. I’ve had some experiences of being trapped at airports and this has saved me so many times. I’m currently watching The Sopranos for the second time. It always feels like such a treat when I put it on. I also try and keep a few podcasts on me. Adam Buxton is a new fave on Spotify and The Combat Jack Show is a really great one if you’re into hip hop.

My go-to routine is always drinking as much water as possible and then nicking as much as I can before I leave the club! I always stack my bag with at least four bottles and make sure I drink a couple before I go to bed and then have some for the airport before I board. Trust me, it's a real life saver."
