I was born in Shropshire at RAF Cosford and raised in Wolverhampton. Since childhood, I have been a Wolverhampton Wanderers fan and still love to visit Molineux to take in a game whenever I can. I grew up surrounded by music, my father was a music promoter and agent, my godfather was Mel Galley from Whitesnake and my love for live music remains with me: a great gig followed by a curry is the best night out!

I'm incredibly fortunate to have spent the last two decades travelling the World reporting from trackside and speaking to the biggest names in motorsport. Having spent over 10 years with BBC Sport covering MotoGP, I then became the first permanent female anchor for their coverage of Formula 1. After three years however, F1 left the BBC and I then joined the BT Sport team as their channel ambassador and host for MotoGP coverage.
