Hiya! So here I am – not in The Box – and I've won! Thank you so much for voting for me!

At last, I'm going to be famous! And I've started to think about my life as a celebrity. I'm going to eat in exclusive restaurants. I'm going to wear all the latest fashions. I'm going to buy a massive house. People are going to recognise me in the street. Oh – and I'm going to be rich! I'm thinking about setting up a charity – to help people less famous than me.

You might ask: 'am I going to change?' Well I'm not. I'm going to be the same old Daisy… kind, sensitive, interesting – just famous. Are you going to be famous like me one day?
