Questions & Answers…
Been dancing since: 3 years old
Dance Experience: Scholarship to New York at the age of 14 at Alvin Ailey and Steps on Broadway, 17 years of training with Clark Theatre School and Jazz Art, in ballet, tap and jazz. Shows include the Edinburgh Fringe and Jazz Art's "Guts and Grace" tour. I also made it into the final 30 of BBC's "Dance X" show with Arlene Phillips, just missing out on being in the live Saturday night shows.
Favourite style of dance: I'm really missing Tap at the moment… I'm very annoying on laminate flooring or tiles.
What advice would you give to aspiring dancers? Don't ever give up, even when you're not in the mood, or you feel too tired to go to dance class, just put in that extra effort and you will feel better for it in the end. Dancing is a great way to cheer yourself up and take your mind off things.
Best advice ever given to me: Believe in yourself, or no one else will.
What I do to keep fit: I love to just get outside and go a long walk or a jog.
Three words that describe me are: Wee, Red and Cheeky.
I'm happiest when: Having a long lie, snuggled up on a lazy Sunday!
My claim to fame is: Having a driver in Dubai that had also driven Posh and Becks' when they were there.
My most unusual job: Still being a Rockette, not many people turn up to work in hotpants.
If I had a different job I'd be: A princess.
My hobbies are: Dancing and more dancing! And when I'm not dancing, I'm snuggled up in bed being very lazy.
Pets: None at the moment, maybe one day.
Most people don't know this about me: I'm extremely competitive, and a very sore loser.
My happiest moment was: On a weekly occurrence, waking up early on a Saturday morning and realising I have no work and can have a long lie!
My most embarrassing moment was: Dancing in Airdrie Main Street in full Rockette uniform shouting a chant for the National Lottery, by far one of the most cringe-worthy promos so far. I'm surprised we're still alive to tell the tale.
I've never been able to: Watch "The Never Ending Story" all the way through to the end, I fall asleep every time; it really is never ending for me.
Things that really annoy me: Oh don't even get me started on Reality TV… I can't watch programmes like Supernanny, Wife Swap, Big Brother etc. the list is endless. It drives me insane!!!

Simple things really, still enjoying life, maybe an OBE for my work and dedication to cheerleading, Nobel Peace prize for my invention of the calorie-free ice cream, and probably raking in millions for the pyjamas that miraculously turn into neat, work clothes the minute you get up, and I really want to find out what actually is Victoria's Secret?! Not too much to ask surely.
