Recently, I had the surreal experience of stepping onto the set of Team GB’s “Guess the Olympian” series with the British Olympic Association — one of five contestants tasked with convincing a panel of genuine Olympic talent, ChrisMD, BambinoBecky, Duncan Scott, and Emily Campbell, that I was the real Olympian in the room.

As a former international gymnast now working as a resilience and wellbeing speaker, walking into that challenge felt oddly familiar. Convincing a room under pressure, staying composed while being questioned, and drawing on years of performance experience — it wasn’t so different from stepping onto a competition floor.

Duncan Scott commented that I had a calming, convincing voice throughout the challenge, and Emily Campbell — a weightlifter by trade — gave some brilliant feedback on my pommel horse display. In the end, the panel chose me as the real Olympian. The twist? The genuine Olympian was ????? (You need to watch the video to the end to see),
The REAL Olympian has won – Olympic gold and silver medallist in ???, who played the real OLYMPIAN Part??…. watch the video below.

It was a fun, fast-paced reminder that composure under pressure, quick thinking, and self-belief aren’t just skills for the competition floor — they translate directly into any high-pressure environment, on camera or off.

A huge thank you to @GlamslamEnts, the Team GB and British Olympic Association crew for such a brilliant experience.
