What's your nickname? Teffy (my sister couldn't pronounce her s's and it stuck)
Who was your first teenage crush and why? The bad boy in school who sat across me in chemistry. I was the school frump and he teased me about my quilted anorak and blew the Bunsen burner in my face. I thought he was wonderful

What was the first single you bought? Vienna by Ultravox What did you want to be when you were a kid? A probation officer
What's your favourite book? Anything by Dean Koontz
What's your favourite movie and why? Pretty Woman - doesn't every woman want to be rescued by a handsome, powerful, rich man
What was your worst holiday and why? I once went to a grotty Spanish resort with a group of friends. We ate roast beef while sitting on plastic garden furniture - not a tapas bar to be seen
What was the most embarrassing moment in your life? Taking my shoes off on a plane while pregnant and suffering from swollen feet; then not being able to get them back on and waddling through the airport in winter bare foot
Do you have any phobias? Spiders, spiders and spiders
If you could pick a celebrity to join your staff who would it be and why? Pierre Hermé - the top French patissière and the inspiration behind our new Serious desserts business
Who would you most like to sit next to on a plane? The Dalai Lama
What would you request as your final meal? Rillets of duck with cranberry confit and hot ciabatta with creamy butter, full Christmas dinner with a Norfolk Black turkey and then a plate with a little taste of every pudding on the menu
What's your favourite junk food? Chips with mayonnaise
What luxury would you have on your desert island? Vintage Bollinger and vanilla fudge
What's your biggest regret? That I didn't explore the world more when I was single
If you could star in a TV programme, which would it be and why? Lost - fantastic location, sexy male co-stars
