17 QUICK QUESTIONS TO
BERTIE STEUR
As you may already know, I am part of Team Bertie at Expedition Robinson. I have come to appreciate her down-to-earth attitude, cute clothing choices, decisiveness (should I remind you of the freaking Centerparc house she built on the loser island?) and even her belly tattoo. Because you should know: Bertie is the shit. When I was in Greece and had no time for my weekly Ex Rob column, who came to the rescue? Exactly, my heroine Bertie. Time for 17 quick questions. Read her answer to the bucket list question and you'll be blown away, I swear.

“Well, I would still like to spin (Bertie's hidden talent, you should know), that's something I've been doing since '99, and Ibiza is the house mecca.” Ibiza How many animals do you have in total on your farm?’
