Behind the scenes

  • She is a former country swimmer, and ex-national tennis player.
  • She initially had her sights set on working backstage.
  • She has a Full Clean Driving Licence; meaning that she has broken no driving laws[6].
  • She is good at many different dancing styles (Ballet, Jazz, and tap) and is also good with a variety of accents (Received Pronunciation, London, Essex, Northern Irish, Standard American, Southern American and Australian).
  • In a interview. Jessie said in real life she is nothing like Lavender. No, I'm definitely not as prepared as she is, and I'm definitely not as neatly intact at all times. It was a major decision to make her hair curly, and to make her very pristine. The headbands are something I wear in my life, too. But I'm definitely nothing like her; I wear glasses in real life and have a bit of a beak. [7]
