Like what, you know, future wise?
And I said, well, I want to be a singer.
And she looked at me and she said, right, well, I don't think that's going to happen.
And I was like,

And she was like, I think you need to start, you know, really knuckling down and taking school seriously because that's... Because that's what you need to do in order to succeed, right?
And then the funny thing was, was when I wasn't expecting, they wanted me to come back and give a speech.
And I thought, all right, well, I'll tell her what you said then.
I'll give that speech, shall I?
I went to like four different schools.
Yeah, so went to one with my brothers and my sister was the first one.
And then I left because I wanted to go to like a proper theatre school.
So I went to Sylvia Young Theatre School.
And Rita Ora was in my class.
Yeah.
So yeah, so I went to Sylvia, so bless my mum.
So I had to audition for that and it was for a scholarship and I got down to the last three.
I never got the scholarship and my mum knew how much I wanted to go.

And I went and I loved certain parts of it.
