I'm great. How are you?
Very well, thank you. Thanks for coming on the show. So, mad story. Five years in prison. Had a relationship with an inmate. You were a prison officer.
No, police officer.
Police officer, sorry. Yeah. you get done and yeah basically that's why you're here to tell your tale obviously on the media you do your social media stuff
as well
you're trying to build your business which we can touch on but before we get into all the madness i always like to go back to the start of my guest to get more of a bit of understanding about
you
where you grew up and how it all began
So I actually grew up from being very young on a council estate. Absolutely loved it. It was the best. Always playing out with people, always got the best bikes, you know, just knocking about with all your neighbours and their kids. And then... mum and dad actually moved all of us out of the area so we grew up in Withingshaw and then we moved to still the same postcode but just a little bit further afield and it was a lot nicer and I had a really good upbringing I'm one of four I'm the youngest of four and I actually feel like that's probably where I went wrong
Why?
Because I was the golden child. I could... I could never do any wrong because everyone had always done worse above me. So nothing was... Nothing was... I could never compare to them. You know, I kind of got away with... got away with murder kind of thing and then uh yeah i went to a really good school um lovely primary school lovely high school and everything was on on the up for me really i didn't didn't really have any adverse sort of like situations coming my way until i became independent and started messing about with boys
bastards what did you do after school
When I first left school, I went straight into hairdressing. So I kind of knew that I wanted to be in that industry, but didn't know to what extreme. I feel like when you're a kid, you're just forced to do something and, you know, just slightly forced to grow some wings and make money. And then... That's when I started getting, well, that's when I started to enjoy going out, socializing, drinking on the park, knocking about with my mates. And I hated the fact that I worked in the hairdressing industry and I didn't have a weekend off. So I left. And then I thought, oh, I want a nine to five. Then I applied for a job in a solicitors and I got it. And that's where my nine to five and that sort of like legal thing
Work came from working in that solicitor's.
How'd you end up joining the corporals then?
I got made redundant from the solicitors and I thought, what can I try next?
What age?
Twenty... one?
Young.
Yeah, I got made redundant. I was like, the world's my oyster, what should I do next? And it was never my intention to join the police. I wasn't one of those kids that grew up like, when I grow up, I want to be a police officer. And then nobody can ever get in first time. Nobody can ever get in. It's like so rare. And I thought, I'll just have a crack at it. I'm probably not going to get in anyway, so why not? Joined. Joined. Did the application process and before I knew it I was wearing a fucking uniform. I didn't realise how it all just happened in the blink of an eye. And then, yeah, I was in the job at 22. What
was the training like?
um it's very textbook it's very much there's like a class of 20 all sat around learning the ins and outs of the law the do's and the don'ts and there's a couple of exams and that's that's it really in terms of like the In terms of knowing the law, that's kind of it. And you just refer back to these textbook scenarios and situations. But realistically, with that kind of job role, it's more throw you in the deep end and see how you react to it. There is no right or wrong way of dealing with something because in, I'd say like in an emergency, it's fight or flight, isn't it?
