My dad was a bookie. He had a betting shop so it was a bit unusual. My mum was a drama teacher so it definitely filtered down for sure. I have four sisters.

I used to perform little scenes from Annie in corners of the house. From a very early age, I was living in that imaginary world of play-acting.
