1. I live in Manchester and love the place. I get very offended when people use "Manc" as an derogatory term.
2. I was brought up in a sports mad house and was quite a Tom boy growing up. I think I knew the offside rule before I knew how to walk.
3. I was quite a wild teenager, smoking drinking drugs. Reformed character now but have some great and bizarre memories of those times.
4. The first time I went abroad I was 18.
5. I have a terrible fear of flying....and clowns and wasps.
6. I left school at 16 which I totally regret now.
7. I lived in America for 18 months when I was 20
8. I used to have a very fiery temper but have calmed down massively now and avoid confrontation at all times
9. Most of my close friends have been friends for well over 20 years
10. I have broken every finger and one thumb on separate occasions, one pretending to be blind and tripping over the vacuum cleaner, netball and rounders injuries and falling off a podium in a club (classy)
