Jasmine Swanborough | OddBalls Ambassador

Raising Awareness in:
North East

What do you like about being an OddBalls Ambassador?

It’s a good excuse to lark around in colourful pants and be a complete nutter on purpose. On a serious note, it is good to be a role model to other aspiring Ambassadors and it’s also rewarding knowing that this work has an impact on young people’s lives

 Any highlights or funny stories so far?

Since getting the OddBalls Foundation car, I have been flashed by people wearing oddballs boxers three times. You forget what the car looks like when you’re sat inside.

What's your advice on the best time to ‘check yourself’?

Because I don’t have a pair of balls myself this is a hard one to answer. I’d say in the shower.

When you’re not being an Ambassador, you can be found…

Eating my body weight in Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Bars.

Favourite sport to watch or play?

Rugby to both play and watch. I used to play tennis too, but since coming to uni I’ve found a lack of time for both – thanks to the excessive nights out and pub trips (and studying, of course...)

#1 item on your bucket list?

I’ve already done it but it’s still at the top to do again: skydiving.

Best TV show to binge-watch?

If you’d asked me before Season 8, I’d have said Game of Thrones, but since that was driven into the ground, I’d suggest Modern Family. I’d say the most relatable character in it is Phil, but you’ll have to watch to see why!

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Bars.

What's the best advice you’ve ever been given?

Don’t doubt yourself and show them the real you.
