Raised in Kent, she left the backyard of England for London seven years ago, and has vowed never to return. Blessed with a huge appetite and a super-fast metabolism, she enjoys theatre, comedy, drinks by the river and of course, good food. She loves nothing better than making people laugh, and confusing narrow-minded individuals - who believe you can't be common and clever! You could describe her as amusing, but mildly improper.
