'I'd read about Cambridge University and my teachers said it was a risk and told me to go to another uni but I’m very hard working and my school didn’t do the subjects I needed and wanted to do, so I taught myself Spanish at adult education classes to do my A-level exam and same with further maths, which I taught myself in a year.'
She continued: 'I wanted to stand out from the other kids who had gone to Eton. I was strong willed and my parents instilled this notion of hard graft.'
