I make television and spend most of time in the background encouraging others to put themselves out there on camera. I have never had any desire to 'become the story' but, somehow, this really appealed to me. Of course, I had absolutely no idea that I would actually be chosen...I applied on a whim on Facebook and now I'm considering a crash diet and wondering what I should wear. I don't know what to expect. Will I be watched? Will I be ignored? Will anybody throw things at me? Will I look like a knob? I've thought long and hard about what to do up there - or, in my case, what not to do up there. I'm no exhibitionist so don't expect to be entertained. But, I have decided to use the plinth as its intended to be used - to commemorate those heroic/iconic/amazing people who have died. My husband, Damien, lost his life three years ago in an avalanche on Mont Blanc - so to mark the third anniversary of his death I will be taking some of his ashes up there with me. I'm also going to use my time on the plinth to do a bit of shameless plugging for an iconic Manchester music venue which - after years of closure - is soon to reopen again. Band on the Wall is back!
