Aaron went on, 'I’ve got a massive family so someone that can deal with that.'
'Someone who has a personality who doesn’t rely on me, I’m very confident and I can chat for ages so sometimes it’s probably easy to leave me to do all the talking in certain situations so someone who has a big enough personality to hold their own and put me in my place.'
'Someone who also isn’t too serious as I’m a very spontaneous person.'

Aaron was asked if his career has ever stood in the way of romantic relationships.
He replied, 'A lot of people have an assumption of me as being a typical player, but I got all of that out of my system when I was younger and now I’m a lot more laid-back when it comes to dating.'
'A lot of people would assume that I go on lots of dates but I’m actually quite picky when it comes to who I date.'

Orthopedic Surgery
'It’s six years until I qualify as a doctor and the goal is to be an orthopedic surgeon - that is muscles and bones.'

'More women need to be exposed to it and realise they can do it,' Priya added.
'I feel like this year in particular has been so intense because of Covid.'
'Our studies were interrupted midway and we were all told if we wanted to we could help out during the pandemic so I was working in ICU for the whole of February.'

'You would come back after every shift exhausted so there definitely wasn’t any time for dating or relationships.'
'The NHS has been really tough in the ICU with the long hours, but I find it so rewarding and it’s made me really resilient.'
'Being here is good for me because it’s something absolutely different to my job.'
