She smiles when she talks about how different facilities are now: “I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I loved every minute of it.” a b "Cotton and Whitbread voted off Celebrity".

When I was throwing, it was all over the place – 30 metres, 40 metres, 70 metres.” As an athlete I was competing in an era when it was predominantly male orientated in the athletics. However, I was inspired as a young 11-year-old by Mary Peters, who won the woman’s pentathlon in the 1972 Munich Olympics. Then before her came a number of very famous British women athletes that inspired me when going through the history of woman’s athletes.
