Lisa Leyland
back
Lisa Leyland is following in the footsteps of a long line of gorgeous Lisas (well, three of them!) presenting on SmartLive TV.
Lisa is originally from the Bahamas, but has lived in the UK for six years (but only for the weather). In that time she has enjoyed a number of presenting jobs, including live quizzes, travel shows and shopping channels. Lisa has a non-identical twin (with whom she shares some spooky telepathic powers from the opposite side of the globe!) and is a massive fan of extreme sports such as cliff diving and paragliding.
Q&A
How did you get into presenting?
I fell into presenting after studying drama at university and drama school. I auditioned for a channel called Teletext Holidays for some reason thinking acting was involved, but instead I ended up presenting and really enjoyed it!
If you weren’t a presenter, what would you be?
If I wasn’t presenting I would of course be acting, as I love being in front of the camera. However something completely different which I have always been interested in is Law. The idea of exploring and unravelling different cases for real which many people only see through the media sounds very challenging and eventful.
What do you do when you’re not presenting at Smart Live Casino?
When I am not at SLC I work at a theatre on the stage door where I can meet all the actors and see the shows! I present on the shopping channels Bid.tv, Price Drop TV and Speed Auction TV, and I’ve also modelled for DFS and Blackberry as well as presenting for a corporate fitness video!
You’re off to the Monte Carlo Casino for the weekend. Which celebrity do you take with you as your guest, and why?
I’d take someone like Brad Pitt because I’m sure he’s a pro after filming Oceans 11, 12 and 13! Also, if we run out of conversation I wouldn’t care. Just looking at him is enough for me!
If you won £1 million at the casino, what would you spend it on?
I would buy a new car and house, the obvious stuff really. I’d also give some to charity and my family.
If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
I’d probably be a dolphin, because they’re my favourite animals. I swam with them in Mexico and had the time of my life! They look like they’re always smiling, so hopefully I’ll always be happy!
Red or Black?
I’d choose red because it’s more exciting than black.
Who’s your favourite person to work with at Smart Live Casino?
Difficult one as I haven’t worked with many people yet. I like both Roisin and Rachel as they talk nearly as much as me!
You have £3,000 to spend on the Smart Live High Roller wheel, which number do you put it on?
I’d put £3,000 on the number 8 because the year 2008 was a really happy one for me.
Complete in 10 words or less: “I will achieve world domination by ...”
...tomorrow. It shouldn’t take too long.
