Q. Tell us about your childhood.
A. I m Belfast born and bred. I grew up on the Lower Ormeau Road until we moved to Ailesbury Crescent when I was 12. It was the best street to grow up on with my parents Jeannie and Teddy, my brother Teddy and sisters Lyndsey and Kim. We always had pets growing up, a cat and a dog, but the cats were always mine. It s a very close family with a huge circle of aunts, uncles and cousins.
I was in London for a couple of years and then Cardiff for nearly 10 years, so I think being back you just sort of appreciate that big family. Some of our family gatherings are some of my best memories.
