What has been the greatest moment of your life?
ND: Are you serious woooo hooooo! Okay, I'll give you two. The birth of my son, Jaden, and seeing my name come up in bronze position on the big screen in Beijing.

What colour is Wednesday?
ND: Lilac.

How much money have you got in your pocket at the moment?
ND: Man! They didn't make my birthday suit with any pockets. Who should I write to about this?

If your house was on fire what is the one thing that you would save?
ND: Well assuming there were no people in it... Man, it would be really close between my iPod and my make up... eye shadow is much cheaper so I'd have to get the iPod and get more eye shadow later.

If you could have any superpower what would it be?
ND: To fly... anything to beat the traffic.

What is your karaoke tune?
ND: Wow, anything Amy Winehouse. If not that, definitely, Oasis’ Wonderwall or the Goo Goo Dolls' Iris.

If you could have five dinner party guests who would they be and why?
ND: Oh my God these questions are getting hard... Uhm... But I can think of five. And I’d want them all to dinner for the same reason. They've all made themselves very successful, for different reasons, in different areas, and they all came from having nothing: Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Madonna and P. Diddy or whatever his name is these days.

What is the best tip anyone has ever given you about anything?
ND: Just relax.

If you were an animal what would you be and why?
ND: Cheetah, of course – it's the fastest animal on the planet. My whole life is about being the fastest. But then again, if I was a cheetah I don't think I'd get into many races anyway. Hm, so maybe I'd be a bird or something instead so I can see what it's like to fly.

Who’s the most famous person on your mobile?
ND: Anyone famous in my phone has something to do with athletics, like Kriss Akabusi and Maurice Greene.

When was the last time your cried?
ND: A little while after Beijing my mum told me a touching story that made me cry.

What was the name of your childhood pet?
ND: I don't know but it was a tabby cat. We weren't big cat people really so that cat couldn't wait for a chance to escape - which it did.

What was your favourite toy when growing up?
ND: Barbie. I used to like to cut all her hair off and "re-style" it and get rid of all the clothes and make new ones.

What is the most expensive phone bill you have ever wracked up?
ND: I reckon it was about £250.

If you could play another sport what would it be and why?
ND: Well, if being a Gladiator isn't considered a sport, I think I'd have to pick basketball. It was one of the only sports I didn't get to try out in school. Since I was quite good at netball, I reckon I wouldn't be too shabby at basketball.
