BIOGRAPHY Patti was born on an RAF base in Odiham, near Basingstoke, Hampshire. After two years there, her parents moved to Hordle, near New Milton, Hampshire where Patti attended school. She developed a love of animals and as well as growing up with many dogs, used to spend every spare moment helping out at a local Riding School. Although neither of her parents were musicians, there was always music playing in the house while Patti was growing up, and she started taking piano lessons at the age of seven. She used to enjoy singing along while she played piano, but at this point never imagined she would work within the entertainment industry. She was studying for 11 ‘O’ Levels (all of which she passed) and everything was forced to take second place until she auditioned for the school musical at the age of fifteen. She was surprised to be cast in the Lead Role, and from here she developed a passion for acting, which she then went on to study.
