Q: Give us a potted history of your life so far... A: I was born in a Nissen hut in North Yorkshire - my parents couldn't afford a maternity home!听I spent most of my early life in the RAF and didn't find out till I was much older that it was my dad who was in the RAF (I do like a man in a uniform)! Q: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A: I wanted to be a rock star, but my parents told me to get a proper job and be a rock star in my spare time! Q: What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?
A: Judging a baby competition at a local fete on behalf of Radio Cambridgeshire.听I had finished judging and had awarded prizes when six more babies turned up to be judged and the committee had disappeared into the beer tent! The moral of this story is never judge any competitions again as you always upset somebody! 听Q: What's the worst job you've ever had? A: A paper round when I was 12 - I听only lasted one day in the job... Q: Do you have a catchphrase? A: No I'm still working on that one. Q: What was the first record you ever bought? A: The Carpenters - I used to borrow my sister's records before that. Q: What's your favourite food? A: Lancashire hot pot (don't tell Yorkshire or the War of the Roses will start again!) Q: When Hollywood comes calling, who'll play you? A: Dolly Parton - it's been said I am the spitting image of her!? Q: In a fire, what would you rescue first? A: Jimbo my cat, my guitar, ukulele and banjo (in that order). Q:听What do you do to relax? A: Go out with my George Clooney look-alike boyfriend (note to self: must make eye appointment as I'm getting more short-sighted). Playing my ukelele and banjo (I really must get some lessons), practising my Shania Twain moves to her CD's and fantasising what it really would have been like to have married Elvis Presley. |
