Making ends meet: I was born in a town called Cuckfield, in Sussex, south of London, in 1988. I have a small but close-knit family. My mum worked as a solicitor’s PA and my dad was a pilot for British Midland, and I’ve got an older sister. My parents put my sister and I through private school, which was the best gift I ever got from them, but because of that they didn’t have much else.
