Diane, who started work as the receptionist for Yorkshire Wildlife Park, now works as a lion keeper. She is featured in Fabulous magazine’s ‘It happened to me.’

Jenny and her husband, Stephen, very sadly lost their middle child, Lucas, to Spinal Muscular Atrophy. He was only four months old.
SMA is the leading genetic cause of death in young children. Jenny and Stephen are keen to raise awareness of the condition. Read their story in S magazine.
A fun shoot now with Emmerdale’s Gaynor Faye for S Magazine’s ‘Me and my handbag’ feature. What an excuse to be nosy!

Hayley Taylor (The Fairy Job Mother) stars in Woman magazine’s weight-loss feature.

Just to remind you all that I am currently available Wednesdays through to Sundays until September when my availability goes back to normal and I would love to hear from you.
