When a toddling Tina did her first dance, little did she imagine that 17 years later she would be signing and dancing on her own debut No. 1 single, which she also co-choreographed.

At the age of five, she'd put on her own show for her family in her front room and there and then she decided she wanted to be a performer. "My first job was dancing in a Cinderella panto with Lionel Blair. It was a great experience," she recalls.

But Tina didn't need Lionel's flair to inspire her. Trained from toddler age in classical ballet, Tina set her sights on modern dance and spent eight years at London's Arts Educational School. She was soon appearing in fashion shows for Wella and Clothes Show Live, a Disney special, a couple more pantos, plus a chewing gum advert. "I had to wear a swimming costume for that ad. The trouble was that it was the middle of winter!" she recalls with a raucous laugh.

Since then she's popped up a lot on TV, dancing on Top Of The Pops with among other Shola Ama and Toni Braxton, appearing in a Pulp video and performing on This Morning, hosted by her favorite TV Celebs Richard & Judy.

Being the oldest of 7, Tina has been known, on occasions, to take control ("Why, did someone say I was bossy?") and is always good for an advice session. Ask Tina a question and she'll tell you the honest truth. "Sometimes I think maybe I should bite my tongue but then I think it's more important than truthful. If a friend is about to go out looking awful then someone has to tell them!" But Tina's far from Mother 7. "Tina's always giggling and gossiping," says Bradley. "And when her, Jon and Hannah get together, all you can hear is this mad laughter.
