Favourite pole moment?
My first ever comp at the pier hotel, I was so nervous before hand I told Chilli not to come and watch but she came anyway and hid in the audience, when I came off stage I walked past her and she was crying. At first I thought it was because I’d sucked but it was happy tears haha
Care to share any faux pas or disaster moments with us?
My biggest disaster pole wise was when I fell off the pole at Pole Candy halfway through my routine. I landed face first and split my lip open. I did finish my routine and then went straight to hospital to have my lip glued back together. I have a cool scar to show for it though.
