I was born in Hackney hospital, London. I went to Clapton Park Secondary School, where Helen Shapiro also attended. My dad was a gunner. I had visions of him being at. the back of an aircraft shooting the enemy. It was only much later when I realised how dangerous his job was. I remember bathing in a tin bath in front of the fire.. I was to much later in life form Cando Care together with my friend Kath. I have three adult sons now.
