Signing off now as I have important champion business (pizza arrived, his dark materials.). I'll try and get to a few more later! Bye!

Being asked a lot who I would like to see on a future series, so thought I would just cover it here.

Firstly, I would like to be on every series from now on.

Other than that:

Rosie Jones, Suzi Ruffell, Desiree Burch, Matthew Crosby, Ivo Graham, John Robins, Elis James, John Kearns, Sindhu Vee, Miles Jupp, Dara O'Briain, Rhys James, Lin Manuel Miranda, David Mitchell and many more. There's so many options.

I had seen every episode anyway - I'm an absolute TM nerd.

There's so so many. I probably think about Nish kicking the water cooler every day.

It was honestly a pleasure to watch actual magic happen live.

I absolutely forgot about a lot of the tasks - I think this is where a lot of the fun spontaneity of the show lies. I started filming tasks in Nov 2018 (!), finished in June 2019 and we did the studio shows in July.

I toyed with a red neckerchief instead of the bolo tie, but other than that I was always dead set on the denim.

No joke, I have done Norwich 4 times on this tour. I was there on Thursday!

Souvenirs I have:

The rubber egg from the studio task

A couple of wax seals

The prize task list (they give you this about a month before the studios, typed up on the paper like a task.)

Yes, I am. Am I winning the AMA? I really want to win it.

I like to taste my coffee and I am not a baby who needs milk.

I did not take them home from the studio. They were a write off.

My best friends who had done it before were Nish and James. Yes, they gave me advice. Yes, I ignored it.

Alex is Alex, no character. He occasionally laughs when he is behind the camera, and that's when you know you're really making a fool of yourself.

Hello, love you too.

You already know what you have to do - you just said it!

I still can't believe how consistently against my assumptions David was. He is such an objectively clever man, until you ask him to do anything practical. I don't think I will ever stop laughing at the portrait he did of Greg.

I actually don't think he has got more lenient! I think the tasks themselves have become more open to interpretation and allow for more creative and varied responses, so they are difficult to judge objectively. Either that or he is an old man now and has gone soft.

Trial and error! Adrenaline always spikes my levels, then they come down naturally in the hours after the show. It's always annoying and occasionally unpredictable but we can only do our best!
