First of all, can you clear it up for us – is it Boudica or Boadicea?

It’s actually both, I find it depends on your age as to how you pronounce my name. I am known as Boudicca... you may bow. You may call me whatever you want...unless youre a filthy dirty Roman then I shall just stab ya with me spear.

They didn’t have Twitter in AD60 – how are you getting on with it?

I’m a modern kinda girl #lovesocialmedia If I can lead my Celtic tribe, the Icenis, into battle I think I can handle this!

If you’d had the technology we have today back then, do you think things might have turned out differently for you?

Good question! Who knows... I had around 10,0000 people in my gang... may have had more if we had the means to communicate better!

But think of the phone bills! Anyway, you’re coming to Watford Colosseum – very close to St Albans/Verulamium.... Are you having any nasty flashbacks?

Grrrr!! Verulamium was the third largest settlement for those stinky Romans. We had to invade, had to try... it’s about our freedom. And besides they do a good pasty in the city centre... fighting makes me very hungry.

Well of course. Verulamium was your last known location but nobody knows if that's actually where you died. Can you tell us?

Well I like to keep it a mystery, but what I will say is I had a mission... to win or to die! Can’t believe I’m going back there!

We're very honoured to have you! Will you be coming by chariot?

Of course. I shall be accompanied by other British greats such as Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, King Henry Vlll #couldgoon

Name-dropper! But you're greater than all of those, aren't you?

#willgoon Richard the Lionheart, Guy Fawkes, Burke and Hare... but no one can rock a tune like Queen Boudicca #wewillsmashyou. Did you know it was Queen Victoria who remembered me as the amazing woman I was? Boudicca means ‘victory’ so we're very similar.

That confirms it. You are the greatest! What horrible things are we going to learn about you in Horrible Histories?

Well that would be telling, but me and the other guys have a ball!! Educational whilst laughing ya horrible heads off! The second half of the show has this new technology you speak of... 3D!!!! Things fly out at you... I didn’t even flinch #hadtohide

Sounds truly horrible! Are we going to find out how you died? DID you poison yourself? Or is that treasonous to ask?

In the show they claim I poisoned myself... but I am more interested in where I can get my ginger hair done in Watford.

That IS more of a burning question. Lots of good hair salons here - I'm sure they could be 'persuaded'... with a spear...

Everyone can be 'persuaded' by Boudicca... even that lot out there... reading this... come see the show Barmy Britain... OR ELSE!!!

Argh! I'm sure there'll be a full house now! When you finish this interview, what are you off to do?

I’ll probably find a few Romans to kill, have a bowl of Coco Pops and on with the show!

A truly regal plan! Thank you very much for your time, Your Majesty. It has been an honour and a pleasure #bowsandgrovels

Thank you, you are welcome in the Iceni tribe anytime... #askboudicca?

Lovely, thank you. I'll remember that if the journalism dries up....
