Little known facts about Paula ...

 

Long before the bright lights of journalism beckoned, 13 year old Paula became a dab hand on the candy floss machine and an expert on toffee apples. Her first job in a seaside kiosk under the twinkling lights of Rhyl’s promenade means that, to this day, woe betide anyone who tries to palm her off with a substandard stick of candy floss. Then it was onto a far off Latin American country where she picked up the serious Salsa skills that once led to her dancing with Carlos Acosta.
