Zoe lives small to live big.
I grew up in rural Ireland in the 70s, so there was no money anywhere. My dad was an engineer and my mum stayed at home at that point. I now realise how much they struggled. We had an Irish Wolfhound, which was a big expense. I didn’t go on holiday until I was 12 and visited family in Wales. We moved around a lot. After living in Surrey for a while, we moved to Glasgow. When I was 16 I got a job in a warehouse packing jams and sweets. It was the best job. The women working there were hilarious and I made more than £200 a week.I studied drama at The Poor School in Londo
