MY FIRST. . .

MEMORY: Falling out of my cot when we were in Malta and banging my head on the floor when I was about two. I rocked the cot that much I fell out.

JOB: Working in a hairdresser's -- Head Case at Mill Hill in Blackburn -- as a Saturday girl. I used to wash people's hair and sweep the floor.

HOUSE: I lived with my mum and dad in Whitney Avenue, Feniscowles, until they split up and then my mum, sister and I went to live in Heys Close, Blackburn.

PET: A cat called Jasper -- he was mine and my sister's.

CAR: I don't have a car but I'm going for my theory test on Wednesday and hope to sit my driving test in March. I've had a scooter since I was 16 -- I had a brand new £3,000 X-registration. It got nicked and I only got £600 back on the insurance, but I'm still paying the HP. I've had two accidents but I need to get to Accrington and Rossendale College. If I go on the bus it's £8 a day.

STAGE APPEARANCE: When I was four my sister and I went to speech and elocution lessons and someone there was looking for small children to be in Carousel. I went on stage at Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre with a professional touring group.

TELEVISION WORK: I didn't watch Hollyoaks but I applied for work as an extra. As fate would have it, I went to the wrong Green Room and ended up with the cast rather than the extras. As a result I got a little part where I had to walk out of a shop wearing a T-shirt that flashed certain colours depending on whether you fancied someone.

AMBITION: To perform. I started going to youth theatre and always did stuff at school. I have always said I will make it. I'd like to be a TV presenter.

HEROINE: People have asked me this before and I don't have an answer. I want to be myself and not copy anybody else.

ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Years ago -- probably a little sip of my mum's wine.

EMBARRASSMENT: I went skiing with school when I was about 11 or 12. We were acting cocky and I lost control, got my ski caught and got stuck in front of everybody.
