This much I know: Diana Dodog, Winner of Masterchef Ireland

I like to think I’m strong, but I cry easily at small things.

I was absolutely shocked to win Masterchef. It was an out of body experience. I didn’t realise that I fell to my knees when I was told that I’d won, until I watched it back. It just proves that when you want something really badly, you can make it happen.

My main fault is that I have no patience — I want everything to be done yesterday. From the minute I get up, I have so many things on my mind. I do up a list and get going, checking things off as I complete the tasks.
