On The Spot With Andrea Carrington

What was your first job?

I was a hairdressing apprentice. It’s what I always wanted to do.

If you weren’t in your current position, what would you be doing?

I’d probably have gone into catering and possibly had my own restaurant, or maybe even two, by now.

What was your worst mistake?

There have been many. But as long as you learn from them and don’t keep making them, it’s a learning curve.

What’s your ideal day away from the office?

If it’s nice, a trip out to the seaside or a picnic is always good. If it’s rainy, watching movies on the couch with my son – or shopping.

Name one person you would like to have dinner with and why?

Hugh Jackman, because he is gorgeous.

What was your best subject at school?

Drama. I’ve always been a drama queen.

What are your hobbies?

Reading, shopping and spending time with my friends and family.

What would you do if you won the Lotto?

I would carry on coming to work but I’d just have more holidays and spoil my family.

What’s your favourite item of clothing?

I have so many it’s impossible for me to make just one choice. I do like getting dressed up.

What’s your favourite time of day?

I don’t have one really, although I am not much of an early morning person.

What’s the best thing about Yorkshire?

The mix of old and new buildings and the great restaurants and bars.

What would you like your epitaph to be?

She was fit, fun and fabulous.
