I was born in Stockport, then we moved to Irlam in Salford. My dad was a police inspector and my mum was a dinner lady. They worked long hours and I grew up with a strong work ethic. I remember my brother and me playing out in the garden, seeing tractors driving past, waving at farmers, then hearing the ice-cream man come down our road. I loved it.
I wish I could sing, but I can’t. I can dance, though. I’d entertain the family when I was little. My brother and I would spend hours rehearsing, then he’d introduce me into the room and we’d do a little skit.
