Dom also told 10 Play she was looking forward to “stepping way out of my comfort zone” and “challenging myself more than ever before”.

Dom added that she wants viewers to see a more “vulnerable and caring side” to her, and is hopeful she won’t come face to face with anyone she “ever had beef with”.
