I'm close to my mum and dad and my brothers and my aunts and cousins.
just the most normal upbringing.
Like, I don't have any, like, sad story.
Like, I had a really nice childhood, like, and, you know, went through school, like, secondary school.
I went to St Vincent's.
And when I left school, I ended up working at Marks and Spencer's for a bit.
So I was there for a few years.
My mum is still there in Patrick Street.
And then after that, I went into hairdressing and kind of once I went into hairdressing, then that was it really.
I didn't really do anything else.
I worked in a salon in Cork for a bit until I did move to Dublin.
So I was only like 23, 24 kind of when I moved to Dublin.
And yeah, like I just I ended up meeting Alan in 2010.
I'm not going to say I stalked him, even though he will want me to say that.
He tells everyone, like, you totally changed me.
I probably did, actually.
But look, we were kind of texting.
We were like friends on Facebook.
And, you know, the usual on Facebook was the main thing at the time.
