I’m a Brummie and my first claim to fame was presenting a bouquet to the Lady Mayoress when I was just two.

I’ve studied yoga since I was fourteen.

When I was 12, I qualified to train for the Olympics with Sonia Lannaman as I could match her time in the 100m. Sadly, my asthma prevented me from doing so.
