Q&A

MARION McGladeMARION McGlade, 23, from Lambeg, is studying to be a journalist at Belfast Institute. She has just completed a month's work experience at the Star.

What do you like doing on your day off?
I love reading, walking and shopping. I'm a typical girl. Then at night I like to go out for a lovely meal and party the night away whenever I get the chance.

If you were to choose your favourite meal what would it be, where and why?
I really like spicy food, especially stir frys and I also like Italian food. I would go to the Plough in Hillsborough or Speranzas in Belfast. I enjoy atmospheric places where you feel you can relax and chill rather than be all stuffy. Pub grub is hard to beat.

What has been your proudest moment?
I have had a lot of proud moments in my life but graduating from Queens University two years ago was a great feeling.

What was the most frightening moment of your life?
Losing my mum and dad in a shop when I was little and on holiday. I thought I was never going to find them and was crying my eyes out.

How would you describe your taste in clothes?
I like to dress smartly but spend most of the time in jeans and a t-shirt. I can't really remember the most expensive item but I did spend �80 on a pair of black knee-length boots that I always wear.

What would you do if you won a million pounds?
Buy a lovely big house with good-sized garden and treat my family to some of the money.

What was your most embarrassing moment?
I've had plenty of those which I won't be divulging.

What music do you like?
A mix of everything from chart to indie, Kaiser Chiefs to Sugababes. My taste changes all the time.

What sports person do you most admire?
I'm into a mix of sport and don't really follow anyone at the moment. I am a big motor racing fan though and followed Joey Dunlop when I was growing up.

Describe your best ever holiday.
My dream holiday would be somewhere tropical with clear blue sea and warm sands. My best holiday was in Holland when I was visiting a friend.

What is your greatest remaining ambition?
To go onto a successful career in my profession and be more adventurous.

If you could spend a day with a celebrity whom would you choose?
Graham Norton - just to see what he is like.

If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you want with you?
My mobile phone, books and music to keep me occupied.
