Donna Air was the ultimate British pin-up of the late 90s – an irresistible bundle of curly hair, killer cleavage and bubbly Geordie charm. After stints acting in Byker Grove, singing in pop band Crush and presenting MTV’s Select, she skipped off into a life of babydom and millionaire boyfriends. But now, thankfully, she’s back – single and sexier than ever. With a role in Hotel Babylon and a new Brit film Bad Day, in which she plays a feisty female cop, she’s armed and ready to bewitch us all over again… 
I’d shoot a cute guy with a spud gun – it could be a new way to flirt 
You’ve done acting, singing and presenting – what’s best?
I definitely feel most at home acting. It’s the best job in the world. I loved doing Hotel Babylon – it’s such a good show. And I did an action film last year called Bad Day, playing a cop.
Ever handled a gun in real life?
I’ve been to shooting school and learnt how to hold a gun properly, but I don’t really have a thing for guns. I played with a spud gun as a kid, which was fun.
Do you still use it?
No, but maybe I could shoot a really cute guy in the head with a spud gun to get his attention. It could be the new way to flirt… I’ll try it and let you know how I get on. Maybe I could shoot messages instead – like my phone number. Yeah, that would be better than potato.
Who would you shoot at?
I normally go for quirky men. You never know who you’re going to be attracted to – though I like a gentleman and someone who can make me laugh. And being able to cook is really sexy, too.
On a different note – if you owned a goat, what would you call him?
A goat? Probably just Goat, Billy or Gruff, or something.
Would you make him wear a little hat?
Oh no! The poor goat. I wouldn’t humiliate him like that. I don’t believe in dressing up animals. You see all these dogs out and about in little outfits – that’s just wrong, I feel like putting the owners in them. Put the owner in a bomber jacket, a dog collar and matching cap – see how funny it is then…
Finally – Donna Air is a good person to get trapped in a lift with because…
…I always have treats in my bag!
