MARK’S QUESTIONS FOR SAM:

If you could present with anyone else other than me of course, who would it be and why?

It would have to be Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls, because then I could just look at her all day!

Tell me about a favourite time in your life (not including us being in Pop Idol and presenting together).

The band that I am in performed in Barnsley Town Centre for the switching on of the Christmas light last year. So many people were there and they were singing along to songs that I’d written.

I get really scared when I’m just about to get on a plane. I don’t like taking off.

You said to me that your perfect girl was Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls and you’re always going on about Lily Allen (who is also a brunette) however I want you to give me your top 5 blondies…

Good one! Fern Brittton, Sarah Chalke (Elliot from scrubs), Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore and Scarlett Johansson.

When was the last time you cried?...and I know you don’t do it often cause your a hard Northerner!

Last year I saw a repeat of the episode of ER when Doctor Greene died, it was so sad, but it was the music that did it. It was a version of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’.
