Q&A
If you could have one super power, what would it be?
"If there was a super power that allowed me to push a positivity button inside my brain, that's what I'd choose above all the others. In table tennis so much of the game is about your mindset, so if I had a positivity button I'd be No. 1 in the world in no time."
What was the last thing that made you shout at the TV?
"Don't laugh but I think it was when Aiden Grimshaw was booted out of The X Factor. I thought he was pretty good and couldn't believe Wagner stayed in longer than he did."
