Looking back on her career, Faye opened up about the reason she said yes to joining Below Deck Adventure.
The 38-year-old shared: “I've done so much in my life from immigrating from South East London to Dubai.
“I've backpacked pretty much the world I've lived really poor in Vietnam and Cambodia, and I've been rich in other places. But the one thing I hadn't done is actually be on TV.
“At the time I was obviously a chief stewardess and I was quite successful in the industry, I was approached to represent my position and what yachting is all about.”

Faye admitted: “I was extremely scared, I'm not gonna lie, people filming your every move while you're trying to do so many tasks and succeed, for the world to see.
“It’s quite nerve-racking, I'm not going to lie like when the taxi picked me up to take me to the airport, I was like, ‘You can turn back round if you want.’”
She added: “You only live once and that's my philosophy. I want to get in my coffin and say I gave everything a go.”
Throughout the charter, Faye drew in heaps of mixed reactions from viewers.

Much of the backlash was sparked when she told stews, Oriana Schneps and Kasie Faddah to always wear makeup during service and often reminded them: “Look good, hair down.”
Some fans were concerned Faye was “valuing appearance over performance,” and “cared too much about the wrong things".
During the interview with Express.co.uk Faye hit back at viewers and stated: “Uniform and appearance is everything.
