​
6.30am - Morning hike
I'd take my little brother, Cyrus, who's nine, my mum, Avril, 51, my dad, Booth, 62, and brother Aria, 20, up to Queen's View, where we can see Loch Lomond. Dad has recently been diagnosed with lymphatic cancer, which has affected his walking, so it would be a dream to walk with him.
​
8am - Croissants and fruit
After our walk, we'd have a traditional Danesh breakfast of croissants and fresh fruit and catch up on the gossip. When Dad was diagnosed, I put my work on hold. But he encouraged me to go back as he wanted to see my achievements.
8.30am - Off to school
I'd walk Cyrus to school. Even though he's nine, he still holds my hand when we cross the road. We like to chat about music. Once he was safely in school, I'd go home and play tennis with Aria.
​
11am - Windowshopping in Barcelona
I'd hop in a helicopter with my mum and fly to Barcelona as she's never been there. We'd stroll around the art galleries and go window-shopping. There's a wonderful fish restaurant at the end of Las Ramblas. We'd have king prawns for lunch there.
​
3pm - Feed the sharks
Two helicopters would arrive - one to take my mum home to Glasgow and one to take me to Cape Town. There, I'd meet my best friends, Sean and Simon, and go shark-diving. I'm an adrenaline junkie, so being in a cage feeding sharks would be incredible.
​
5pm - Cinema and Maltesers
I'd go to the cinema to watch Alexander. I find Angelina Jolie (who's in the film, out next year) sexy and gorgeous. I'd watch Angelina with hot chocolate, Maltesers and the girl of my dreams - an old girlfriend.
​
8pm - Egyptian sunset
Another helicopter would be waiting to take me to Egypt. There, I'd meet my dad for a silver-service dinner for two in a hot air balloon. We'd fly over the Valley of the Kings, where Tutankhamun's tomb is located. After dinner, we'd do a parachute jump out of the balloon.
​
10pm - Harry Potter
We'd go home to Glasgow to find Cyrus had waited up for us. Then I'd read him the new Harry Potter book, which hasn't been published yet. At midnight, I'd snuggle up in my big, comfy bed.
