More About Amie 

What’s the most daring/scariest thing you have done?

I’m not much of a daredevil but the scariest thing I have done (unintentionally) was climb to the top of a rock-climbing wall and then realised I’d forgotten to clip my harness on – was a very slow climb down trying not to slip or fall!!

What was your first job?

I worked as an assistant in a shoe shop called Soletrader.
Tell us something that not many people would know about you?

I auditioned for “Stars in Their Eyes” when I was about 10, I wanted to be Emma Bunton from the Spice Girls – if anyone has ever heard me sing it’s no shock that I didn’t get through!

If you weren’t a lawyer or in your current profession, what would you be doing?

My dream job would be to open up a café with puppies (a bit like pup yoga but you can drink coffee and eat cake).
