I didn't realise she'd had started out so early, a few people i know said they had been to school with her or known her. It's nice that a local girl has achieved international fame and a sucessful career. It gives everyone with a bit of talent hope. Plus she is really beautiful which I'm sure has helped her career in entertainment. She was on room 101 at the weekend so maybe a come back?
