She also revealed she has had suicidal ideation, she said "I was self-harming and self-neglecting. I was a mess, I hit rock bottom. This has given me the opportunity to save my own life.

She attended Robert Clack School, followed by Barking and Dagenham College in Essex, England, where she studied Health and Social Care.

My scars are something I have to live with every day, but by setting up the charity I can help others. It was hard work, but it's amazing".
