When you’re going to work to shoot for a day, is there a full wardrobe waiting for you?
Definitely not! That would be my dream. But the full wardrobe awaits me here at my home.
Have you ever worn an outfit on camera and retrospectively felt terrible about it?
Oh yeah! I think that happens every second day. I wear a lot of baggy or oversized t-shirts of that kind of boxy shape that’s in at the moment, and that’s not really flattering for television but it’s quite ‘fashion forward’.
How do you deal with the pressure of making an on-camera gaffe?
I always do crazy things on camera and it’s always live, so there’s nothing I can do about that.
I guess the worst fear as a presenter is getting a band’s name wrong, or because we’re interviewing so many different artists at so many different times sometimes you just honestly have a mind blank. Like, you’ve literally just introduced them and you’ve said their name and by the end of the interview you’ve forgotten because you’re always forward thinking about the next thing.
Who has been your most difficult interview subject?
The interview I least liked was an undisclosed indie band. I think they were just too cool for school. I get a little nervous with those types because they’re there to promote themselves yet they don’t speak. They really try, but they leave really awkward gaps in between questions and answer you with one word.
What would you say the worst part of the industry is?
The worst part is just it being inconsistent, in that you’re only as good as your last interview. Everyone’s quite critical and you will only ever be spoken to when you’ve done something wrong. Not when you’ve done something right.
It’s the most integral part to getting dressed in the morning! I don’t actually do much to my hair because I prefer it to look just naturally beachy and textured.
Monday to Friday I do my own hair and make up. I’m a hair and make up artist, a stylist, a PR agent… I just do everything!
Whose hair do you envy?
Erin Wasson.
