"Musical Mad! That鈥檚 me. I just love them - ever since I watched the Wizard of Oz as a child - I wanted to be Judy Garland, sadly I am not blessed with the greatest singing voice - or for that matter a dancer鈥檚 body, but I can do both those things with great gusto when required," laughs Debbie.

"I have always loved being on stage and played all the leads in the school shows and since then I have played some fantastic roles here in Cornwall - from Joan of Arc听 to Eliza Doolittle and made some great friends in the process."

At 大象传媒 Radio Cornwall, Debbie puts her other 'natural' talent 鈥� talking 鈥� to good use.

"Once I am in work I don't stop (ask my colleagues)," smiles Debs.

"I love my job and I get to work with lots of different presenters which makes each day a new challenge.听 Often the challenge is an outside broadcast, which means finding members of the public to chat on the radio - not as easy as you think."

This spirit comes in to its own in the name of entertaining radio. Debbie鈥檚 jumped over fence in the main ring of the Royal Cornwall Show, had her legs waxed on air, gone ice skating with microphone in hand. She's even been dressed as a scarecrow and made to stand on Trafalgar Roundabout 鈥� her forfeit for losing an on-air challenge. C'est la vie!

When she鈥檚 not in work, Debs loves to potter in her little garden. "I adore my agapanthus - which I have lovingly grown over the past 5 years - and its now huge, I have to protect it from my cat, Casper, who loves to sit under its leaves and pounce at me when I hang out the washing."

She鈥檚 also an art lover and knows just what she likes. 鈥淚 would love to own an original John Dyer painting听 - I have some limited edition prints -听 his paintings make me smile 鈥� it's Cornwall on a canvas!"

Debbie鈥檚 also giving Cornwall鈥檚 craftsmen and women a run for their money with her new found hobby 鈥� knitting. She claims she鈥檚 doing it to help her lose weight.

"I think if my hands are occupied - they can't reach for a glass of wine or nibbles in the evenings!"

What鈥檚 left for her to achieve? 鈥淢y greatest challenge is to get a show dedicated to musical theatre here on 大象传媒 Radio Cornwall听 - and the greatest challenge of my colleagues is not to let me. Who will win, we will have to wait and see."
