Gemma Cairney would love to present a 'Dragons' Den' spin-off show.
The 29-year-old radio DJ loves watching the BBC TV series and has always been keen to host a side project entitled 'Gem's Den', in which she could interview the successful entrepreneurs.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I've always fancied doing a spin-off of 'Dragons' Den', called 'Gem's Den'. I would speak to all of the peeps, like the Levi Roots of the future.
"I suggest a lot of things. I suggest at the speed of light, to my own detriment, mad ideas. I come up with things.
"Who knows, it could be on the new BBC Three when it relaunches. I'm up for anything."
While Gemma is known for her presenting skills both on radio and TV as well as her DJ-ing, she has recently turned her hand to party planning and admits she would love to write a sitcom one day.
She added: "I'd love to write a sitcom. I love writing things and I'd love to do it more. I'm quite like a spinning top at the moment, I have been for the last six years.
"To sit my bum down and write a sitcom would be really lovely and a triumph for me. The discipline of writing is something I've been intrigued by. I'd quite like to write a book as well."
Gemma's latest party planning project has seen her team up with Tia Maria who she has curated events for throughout the year, and she is grateful for the company for letting her be "bossy" while working on the bashes.
She explained: "Any project I work on I really try and offer genuine creative input and I'm quite bossy like that.
"I've really enjoyed working with Tia Maria across the year for that reason that they've let me do that."
Gemma Cairney brings the Tia Maria Dark Room to a close during London's Cocktail Week with a party she curated at Dray Walk Gallery tonight (09.10.14) and tomorrow (10.10.14). Visit www.facebook.com/tiamariadrink for further details on how to sign up.

Frank Skinner has spent hours "fretting" over his 'Doctor Who' appearance.
The 57-year-old comedian is to guest star in an episode of the BBC One sci-fi series this weekend and has admitted that although after filming he was very nervous about his performance, he's now looking forward to finally seeing it.
He explained: "Interestingly, since I did 'Doctor Who' I've spent many an hour fretting about my performance, whether it was good enough. Now we get closer I'm thinking, oh I couldn't care - I'm in it.
"So my excitement has taken over my personal dignity. That hasn't happened for years."
Frank also revealed he's planning to host a family viewing party where he will celebrate his dream of appearing in the cult show, but confessed he'd love it if he could play a trick on them all.
Speaking on Absolute Radio he shared: "I'm thinking of getting one of those family gatherings, you know the ones you hear about when everyone gathers round the tele and they have been cut out of the episode completely.
"I'm thinking of having one of those. What I'd like is if the 'Doctor Who' people would send a bit with me completely cut out that I could then show, and I could go, 'Ha ha', and then show the real one. I'm planning ahead."

Nancy Birtwhistle has been crowned winner of 'The Great British Bake Off'.
The keen cake maker shocked viewers of the BBC One baking competition last night (08.10.14) when she fought off stiff competition from rivals Richard Burr and Luis Troyano to take home the winners trophy.
Judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry insist they made the right decision in crowning her champion, despite Richard having won star baker five times and Luis consistently producing extraordinary bakes throughout the competition.
Nancy said of her victory: "I don't know how I'm feeling really, absolutely overwhelmed and a bit emotional. Who could believe it that I could win?!"
Paul and Mary revealed in the final that they were in total agreement about who they thought should win after tasting Nancy's Moulin Rouge-inspired "showstopper", describing her as having "instinct" and being a "perfectionist".
Paul, 48, said: "Everything just joined together for the final, Nancy absolutely nailed it."
Meanwhile, Nancy's former Bake Off competitors including Chetna Makan and Martha Collison have spoken out to congratulate her on her success.
Martha wrote on Twitter: "Nancy, I knew you would win from the moment I met you. Consistantly brilliant and the worthiest winner! #GBBO (sic)"
Chetna also took to the social networking site to say: "What a Great Final! Very deserving winner @nancybbakes And well done @luistroyano @RichardPBurr Love you all @BritishBakeOff #GBBOfinal (sic)"

Sam Faiers is reportedly planning a Hollywood movie career.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is reported to have caught the attention of industry bosses in Los Angeles with one major casting agent flying her stateside to discuss the possibility of billboard modelling campaigns and potential film roles.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Sam's sexy modelling career caught the eye of some VIP Hollywood moguls and she's keen to expand her horizons.
"A really big casting agent flew her out to LA first class and set up a string of meetings. There are plans for a modelling career Stateside and the potential for movies.
"It's really exciting for her. She can't believe she has a chance at cracking the US."
However, the 23-year-old star is keeping her feet firmly on the ground and isn't expecting to achieve an A-list celebrity status over night.
The source added: "However, she's realistic and isn't expecting to become the next Kim Kardashian overnight - she is just flattered to be asked."
Meanwhile, Sam's on-off boyfriend Joey Essex has always been open about his dreams to take on a Hollywood role.
He previously said: "I'd love to play 007 [James Bond] one day. I'd love to go to Hollywood. So we will see what happens."

Charlie Brooks has reportedly landed a role in a US TV show.
The former 'EastEnders' actress - who starred as Janine Butcher in the BBC One soap - is said to be flying out to Los Angeles next week to film the pilot episode of a new sitcom in which she will play an exaggerated version of her former character.
A source close to Charlie revealed: "This is a great opportunity, Charlie is so ambitious since leaving 'EastEnders, she has been looking for the perfect chance."
However, the 33-year-old star - who was crowned Queen of the 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' jungle in 2012 - is also said to have taken the place of her former on-screen sister-in-law Patsy Palmer, who played Bianca Jackson in 'EastEnders'.
The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Spending time working in the States is something that Charlie has wanted to do for a long time. Initially Patsy was in talks to take the part but she isn't anymore.
"This has left the door open for Charlie. She hopes that this might be the beginning of some bigger opportunities in Hollywood. She can't wait to get stuck in. There are many more doors that she and her agent have their fingers crossed will open.
"She's not putting a huge amount of pressure on herself but obviously she really hopes she can pull it off."
Joining Charlie in the comedy - which has been inspired by 'The Office' and 'Extras' - will be another former 'EastEnders' actor, Michael Greco, who played hunk Beppe Di Marco on the soap for four years.
The programme is based around a fictional relocation service that brings UK starts to LA called Make It Hollywood and will also star ex-'Hollyoaks' heartthrob Andy Newton-Lee (Robbie Flynn), who runs a similar company in real life.

Gregg Wallace is planning to marry his girlfriend.
The 'MasterChef' host is hoping to tie the knot for the fourth time, this time with his girlfriend Anne Marie Sterpini, 28, in a low-key ceremony in Italy following his failure on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Gregg admitted to the Daily Star newspaper: "My next challenge may be marrying my girlfriend. She's one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. A very quiet wedding in Italy would be ideal."
The 49-year-old star didn't comment, however, on whether he'll be sweeping his bride off her feet in a romantic first dance.
The usually cheery food critic is reportedly devastated after being the first to be voted off the BBC One celebrity dance contest, with his professional partner Aliona Vilani adding salt to the wound by expressing her dismay on twitter about being partnered with older celebrities three years in a row.
Fellow Strictly professional Ola Jordan told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Gregg's gutted. I think he wanted to stay longer."
And Ola's beau, James Jordan also stood up for the chef, slamming Aliona for her comments.
He added: "Aliona has won the show before [with Harry Judd], she's had Matt Baker as well. I think that's harsh of her. At the end of the day Gregg's still a human being.
"You're not always going to get the fittest, hottest partner. I think it's a bit short-sighted of her to say that."

Simon Cowell has told this year's contestants on 'The X Factor' they must behave like One Direction.
The music mogul - who has returned as a judge on the ever-popular ITV show and is mentoring the Over-25s group - has stressed the need for them to be sincere during the show, citing the success of 1D and Olly Murs as examples to follow.
Cowell, 55, warned Jay James, Ben Haenow and Fleur East: "The audience can work out if you just want to be famous.
"If you're real and truthful, you shouldn't be afraid of that, don't put on a TV persona.
"Two artists who got it right were 1D and Olly Murs - they showed exactly who they were."
What's more, he encouraged the contestants on the show to be more vocal about the songs they performed and not to be afraid to stand up for themselves.
He said: "Don't be a puppet. If you choose the wrong song, you're out.
"You all have a real hectic workload but find an hour a day searching for ideas - you need to do that.
"Just work far ahead. Think about 1D and Olly - they were as tired as you'll be."
Following the pep talk, the trio of acts presented Simon with a cake to mark his 55th birthday.

Lydia Bright thinks she'll marry James 'Arg' Argent.
The 'Only Way is Essex' beauty - who split from her co-star in 2012 after he was unfaithful to her - admits they recently enjoyed a "massive holiday romance" while the show filmed in Ibiza and though she insists the future of their relationship is still uncertain, she loves him and thinks they are destined to be together.
Asked if she thinks they will marry, she said: "Yeah I do. I think he's The One. We'll probably end up together.
"[Do I love him?] Definitely. I would never say there isn't love between me and James, we've been through so much together and there has always been that chemistry, so we have a lot of love for each other.
"He tells me he loves me all the time but I've not told him yet. He knows I love him deep down."
Apart from Arg's infidelity, Lydia admits one reason why she ended their romance was that fame went to his head but she thinks he is now back to how he was before the show.
She told heat magazine: "The reason we broke up was all the fame went to his head and he lapped up all the female attention. He cheated on me a lot.
"He's like how he used to be [now] and that's why I'm falling for him again.
"I think that although 'TOWIE' was maybe the reason for us breaking up, it's brought us back together".
However, Lydia has warned her on/off lover he needs to "get serious" and mature if he is serious about getting their relationship back on track.
She said: "I love that James is funny and dopey, but if things are going to get serious he's got to grow up a bit."

Ben Hanlin "ruined magic" for his family.
The 'Tricked' star has confessed his family are no longer interested in watching magicians and illusionists because they've seen him perform so many tricks that it's not special or surprising anymore.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Friends and family are so used to watching me do stuff now that I haven't performed any tricks on them in years.
When I was a kid they would always get the tricks but now I've kind of ruined magic for them because they saw way more than most people."
The 25-year-old star - who advises people interested in getting into magic to visit specialist shops and keep practicing - also admitted he decided to make a career out of his passion when he realised he didn't want a "proper job".
He explained: "I found out I had a gift when I was 14 or 15. I spent time watching David Blaine and learning a few tricks. I'd sit and practice them at school and do a little bit of a trick there and learn it and then when I decided I didn't want to get a proper job I kept doing this really."
Ben Hanlin and Persil both believe that Dirt is Good and celebrated by creating some messy magic at a school in Staines.
