Yep, used to be an actress in a former life
First appearance, interviewed Spike Milligan when I was 9. Then appeared as a bit part in a couple of films, did a few children's programmes (Booktower, as Sophie in the BFG, and others, can't remember what!), some radio plays, a few educational films (ie the sort they used to bore you with at school), How We Used To Live (remember that?), a pop video (anyone heard of Tanita Tikaram?), Coronation Street (2 episodes) and Emmerdale Farm for about 4 months.
Also appeared in a documentary with dh and the dds about four years ago, about quitting the rat race.
Top that!
