Yeah.
So when I was 11, my mom just got it into her head that I was going to go to a private school, a Catholic school in Cheltenham.
And she basically like coached me to get in.
And I did a lot of like tests and
throughout my summer holidays to get into this school that had good education.
My primary school had said that I wasn't intelligent enough to go to the grammar school.
And so my mom was just like, hell no.
And so she basically like coached me through the summer holidays to go to a private school.
No, well, I think grammar school is kind of like a better school, but I don't think you have to pay for it.
But your school has to agree that you're clever enough to take the test to go to like a free, like aspirational better school, whatever that means.
But my primary school wouldn't put me forward even for the test.
So then my mum found a school that was like they had a scholarship.
and she put me forward for the scholarship, but the academic test was like a really big part of getting that scholarship.
I think growing up I had two very distinct personalities, all versions of me, and the one side was, yeah, like a bit of a weirdo and I was very much into like ballet and opera and... That's so annoying.
Honestly like eight, nine.
I loved the Spice Girls.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I was a big Spice Girls fan.
Well, when I was nine, I got a singing teacher, a lady called Dorothy, who was the lead singer in Carmen in the Covent Garden Opera House.
And so she started teaching me to sing in Latin and Italian opera, and that was my first training.
