Being an only child, I didn't have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London.
I was born and brought up in Liverpool with my clever little sister Jemma, who is 14 and wants to be a vet. My mum Jane is an administrator and my dad Peter is a taxi driver.
