What Matters to Me - Erin Boag, dancer

• Whom did you last text? I texted Anton to ask him if he’d booked a table for our next get together. He hadn’t.

• It’s not cool but... I like to turn up the music in my car and sing along loudly.

• What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? Always pay your taxes.

• What’s the worst job you ever had? When I first came over to the UK in 1996, I had to work four jobs. One of those was an ironing job, which was OK apart from all the standing.

• Who is your favourite fictional character? Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.

• What are you afraid of? I can do rats and snakes, but not spiders.

• Did you have a nickname growing up? My brother was nicknamed Boagy, so people always called me 
Boagy’s sister.

• What situations make you lose your temper? Bad manners get on my nerves.

• What would your alternative profession be? Brain surgeon. I find television programmes about surgery fascinating.

• What food or drink is always in your fridge? Branston pickle, milk, eggs, McVitie’s Dark Chocolate Digestives and ketchup.

• If you could change something about yourself, what would it be? I’d like it if my skin was more of an olivey colour, and I wouldn’t mind a 
firmer bottom.

• If you could travel back in time, where would you go? Back to the age of the dinosaurs, but I’d want to be invisible so I could walk the land unseen and not get eaten.

• Saturday night or Sunday morning? Nowadays it’s Sunday morning, with a crumpet and a cup of tea.

• Who or what is the love of your life? My husband, dance, and Anton.
