Been dancing since: I was 3 years old.

What advice would you give to aspiring dancers? Always give 110% even when your legs feel as if they are about to fall off. Listen! You can never stop learning and improving
Best advice ever given to me: Pain is beauty!
What is your earliest childhood memory? I remember getting very angry and frustrated with my mum because she wouldn't let me walk to nursery myself… which was only across the road from my house. I suppose in hindsight I understand considering I was only 3.
What I do to keep fit: Three times a week with the Rockettes keeps us all on our toes but in my spare time I also enjoy kickboxing and gymnastics.
Three words that describe me are: Intelligent/dippy, hyper and humorous!… Dippy for example the fact that I've gave 4 words instead of 3! Doh!
How would friends sum you up in one sentence? I don't know you would have to ask them.
I'm happiest when: The obvious is dancing… I love big events like the Scotland games at Hampden, the buzz is amazing, the Rocks games of course and traveling with the Rockettes to any event is always fun. Dancing aside I love to be spontaneous whether it's a weekend away or a holiday in the sun! Love it!
My claim to fame is: OK last year I said my duet with Elton John… that was a little bit of a tall tale… well it was just a downright lie actually! So I'll keep it real this year… my claim to fame is probably dancing at Irn Bru Live 'n' Loud with Caprice… that one is true I promise!
My most unusual job: I've worked in Barlinnie and Shotts prisons, most people find that strange for a cheerleader.
If I had a different job I'd be: Dancing in a West End musical.
My hobbies are: Dancing, kickboxing and gymnastics.
Pets: A boxer dog called Bruno.
Most people don't know this about me: I have a first-degree black-belt in Tae Kwon Do.
What would your Gladiator name be? Erm… Trojan! Don't know why… it just popped into my head and think it makes me sound fierce!

But if it was right now… and I'm pretty starving with all this food talk I'd choose… a fillet steak with mushrooms, onion, peppers n gravy, baby potatoes… no in fact mashed… mm mm mmm!

How would you spend £1million? Oof! I'd spend it in record timing for starters. I would make sure my mum and brother and the people closest to me were sorted and me of course… then I would spend the rest on shoes!
If you were to be Prime Minister for the day, what law would you pass? Abolish student debt! Definitely! Then… I would blitz the rest of my current loan because I know I'm not paying it back!!

What do you think the Meaning of Life might be? My goodness CA this is getting deep…
If you could time travel to the past and the future; where would you visit and why? I would travel to 2010 so I would finally be finished studying and finally be rich… mwahahaha!!!!
If you could have a super-power for a day what would it be and how would you spend your day? I would like to be able to fly because it would save me a fortune in petrol on my daily treks to work, then uni, then training or dance classes!!
If you looked in the trunk of my car you would find? An umbrella, a bottle of water and my dance folder and CDs.
What ringtone do you have on your mobile phone at the moment? I'm afraid it's the classic Nokia tune since I'm sporting the 1998 version of the 3210!!! Don't ask. My phones just seem to keep breaking… I think I'm just going to settle with this one!
What's your 'handbag essentials'? Purse, diary (organisational freak), pen, lipgloss, pressed powder, chewing gum and perfume!
How many pairs of shoes do you own? Oof… never enough but I'd say about 60 pairs easy!
Heels or trainers? Definitely heels, I try and avoid flats as I look like an oompa-loompa!
Favourite outfit: I'm a close fashion follower so it obviously changes all the time. Rite now I'm loving the leather look leggings with a funky baggy top and killer heels… makes me feel like Sandra Dee… ha!
You are stranded on a desert island; you can only take 3 items, what would they be and why? Mascara… obviously for bald eye control, don't think I'm gonna need bronzer as I imagine it would be pretty hot on this desert… so blusher… and gloss of course for some luscious lips!… Oh, were you looking for answers like food & clothing? Ha!
Best beauty tip: A nice tan always makes you feel nice and gives you a lovely glow… let's face it no-one likes the pasty look! But make sure it's fake tan… SUNBEDS ARE BAD!!!!
Hottest new fashion tip: White socks… black shoes? No… no takers?
Biggest hair trauma: When I was 13 I cut my own fringe. By the time I got it straight I looked like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber. It wasn't my best look.
If you could re-style any celebrity; who would you choose, and how would you make them look better? I think I would choose Girls Aloud… they are all beautiful girls but what is with the matching lycra and diamonte dresses? That is a No-No… I'd help them look even more foxy with some stylish clothes.
Worst male fashion mistake: Two earrings, fake tan, skinny jeans, low rise v-neck jumpers, Kappa tracksuits, Wrangler jeans, Cat boots, Timbies, Fred Perry, Bumbags, Trunks, Jesus sandals and socks… basically everything my boyfriend wears! Ha! Sort it out Steven!
Worst chat-up line: Any and every chat-up line is naff… don't do it boys… just keep it casual.
If your life was made into a movie what would it be called and who would play you? Sandra Bullock in 'Miss Congeniality', I'm a tomboy at heart! Hopefully I'll look as good fighting the bad guys. "Harsher punishment for parole violators Stan… and WORLD PEACE!"
Who would you want as your lead man in your movie? I was going to say Will Ferrell but they get together at the end of Miss Congeniality so I think not… how about Paul Walker?… yummy!
If you had to appear in a musical on Broadway which one would it be? Chicago… so I could wear all the foxy outfits!
The person/people I most admire are: My mummy because she's just smashing so she is!
What is the best gift you have ever received? Shallow Al has received far too many gifts to just pinpoint one!
If your house was on fire, what objects would you save? Err I'd probably make a B-line for my new make-up bag and contents… not just because I'm a total airhead but because it probably holds the most value out of the things that I could carry!
What is your most cherished item: My Mini Cooper.
If you were on the run and had to change your name to ANYTHING at all, what would you choose? Well only the people who know me best know that my full name is Princess Consuaila Allana Banana Hammock. So I think my code name would be Hammock… then only my closest allies would know that it was me… Princess Consuaila Allana Banana Hammock!
Who would your ideal car passengers be? Oooh! Lets see I would have Colin Farrell in the passenger seat… for the chat obviously… Paul Walker & Matthew McConaughy in my rear view mirror… err but then there's Chad Michael Murry, Wentworth Miller, Frank Lampard & Jamie Redknapp… oh can I just have a van and I'll take them all???
What is the best thing about being a Rockettes Dancer? You could be dancing to 60,000 football fans at Hampden or at the rugby in Murrayfield… on a beach in Dubai or Italy… or at Glasgow Airport departure lounge (seriously). Also being taught to such a high standard and dancing alongside extremely talented and like-minded dancers. Not to mention the laughs we have at training… I love every one of the girls to bits… right enough… this is getting a bit soppy… ssssssssaaakke!
