It's Friday afternoon. What's on your mind?
Friday night is always the family night with our children Jack and Lucy, especially as there's no school the next day.
Who normally has the pleasure of your company at the weekend?
Linda: Because we're so busy in the week we really love to spend time at home at the weekend. Sometimes my mom and dad come and stay or we have friends around for lovely food and drinks.
How do you prepare for a big night out?
Linda: I always have a spray tan and really pamper myself.
Sam: Keep it simple – haircut and shave for me.
What's your favourite party outfit?
Linda: LBD. Little black dress every time, it never lets you down.
Sam: My favourite jeans and a shirt.
You've just arrived at the bar. What's your first drink?
We both always have the same drink, Jack Daniels and diet coke.
What is your favourite nightspot and why?
Zillis in Dean Street in the West End. It's a fantastic restaurant.
What tune always gets you on the dance floor?
Our current favourite song is Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 – it just makes you want to dance, brilliant pop song.
It's a sunny Saturday. What are you up to?
We have a lovely little miniature dachshund so whenever we get the chance we take her for a walk.
What's your most memorable weekend ever and why?
Our most memorable weekend was when we did pantomime in LLandudno where we had our first kiss – and 14 pantos later we're still going strong.
What's the recipe for a perfect night in?
Indian food and a really good film.
Favourite DVD? And what would you eat while watching it?
Sam: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest with Jack Nicholson and nibbles or as Linda calls them, picky bits!
Sunday breakfast – cooked or continental?
Cooked every time, you can't beat it.
Sunday lunch – home-cooked or down the pub?
Linda: Definitely home-cooked – I love cooking and my recent Celebrity MasterChef experience has helped me pick up a few tips.
Where and how do you like to relax?
Linda: I like to be at home in the bath.
Sam: Me too – at home, with my feet up in front of the TV.
You've got a whole weekend off and a wad of money in your back pocket – which country or city would you head to?
An amazing, romantic weekend in Venice would be lovely!
