She apparently plays the piano, saxophone, clarinet, violin, guitar and hopes to take up the flute, as it is 'more portable'.

She is the youngest of three daughters, her father worked in insurance and her mother was a French and English teacher.
10
She gave birth to her second child with Penry-Jones, a son Peter, on 8 April 2006. Choosing his name was easy, as both his grandparents are called Peter.
