She also added that she's into fashion, adding: "Hot pink is the new black, and don't clip these rings, as high flying runs in the extended family.

"Say yes, say no, shhh, I'm not giving you the exclusive on who is behind the mask yet. All I'm willing to report is that being inside it is really exciting."
