The 30-year-old said: "I'm excited, I'm ready and raring to go.

"It's looking like it's going to be a really good turnout. I've got a lot of friends coming down and stuff so it’s going to be a really fun family day out.

"I've managed to do three or four kick-ups in preparation for the big day so I'm hoping those will come in handy. Whoever's on my team is going to be the winning team!

"I have been to Burton before, but not for a while, so it's really nice to be back.

"Burton is absolutely lovely. I've just had a bit of scrambled egg on toast down the road and I've got to say, it was perfection!"
