The Radio 2 presenter would lip-sync to I Will Survive in her nightie, and used Dolly Parton to get to know her horse, but which rock gods make her toes curl?
The first song I remember hearing
I shared a bedroom with my two big sisters, and remember being put in an oversize nightie that trailed behind me like a fabulous gown, and made to lip-sync to I Will Survive. This was before RuPaul’s Drag Race, so I was way ahead of the curve.
The first single I bought
I wish it was a cool one, but as I’m so giving and selfless, it was a charity single for Great Ormond Street hospital called The Wishing Well. By about 12, I was allowed to go into Bolton town centre by myself, and would head to the Body Shop, Our Price and Greggs – the height of sophistication.
