Personal Quote:
I thought if I dressed like the guys I fancied they'd like me more, so I went to the hairdresser and said: "I'd like my hair cut like Paul Young." It was a strange spiky number with a bit of a mullet. It took me years to realise that didn't work. See more »Trivia:
First became interested in acting at age 13, when she joined the Bolton Octagon Theatre's youth club. See more »Star Sign:
