describes herself as: "Confident and hard-working."

favourite S Club storyline: "I'm quite game for everything so I quite like doing things that are a bit different or wacky because they make the job more interesting. Stuff like dressing up as an alien or kissing some stranger."

life outside S Cub: "I like doing workouts and callanetetics which is a mixture of ballet and exercise."

favourite luxury: "Having a lie-in."

on dancing: "I pick up our dance routines really quickly because of all the auditioning I've done - it's a skill you never really lose."


Like the rest of S Club 7, 26-year-old Tina's career took many twists and turns before she hit the big-time with S Club. And very early age. This meant putting on shows for her family, dancing with Lionel Blair in pantomine and even winning a hila-hoop competition at the age of 8. But she soon got over that to train in classical ballet at London's Arts Educational School, which helped propel her into the spotlight."

Cue Tina dancing alongside the likes of Toni Braxton, Jarvis Cocker and the Royal Opera Company. And as if that didn't keep her busy enough, Tina also modelled in various fashion shows ans starred in a Disney special.

"Working with the stars and travelling gave me a taste for showbiz but nothing could have prepared me for what being part of a band involves" she says. "Initially it was pretty daunting. But we're all grown up and become a bit wiser over the past few years. And the more we do, the better is gets."

According to Jon, Tina is the most mature member of S Club, the most grounded and Tina herself is the first to admit that she's not a typical girly girl - if anything she's a little kooky but that doesn't mean she's no fun. You only have to hear her saucy laugh or one of her hilarious comis outburts to realise that.

And Tina's more that a match for Jon in the sarcasm stakes, "I've got quite a dry, Blackadder sense of humour" she reveals, "So I tend to come out with things that could be taken the wrong way".
