1. If you went on "Stars in their Eyes", which singing star would you impersonate?

 mmm toughy, there are so many actors I admire - probably Meryl Streep as she is so versatile and grounded

3. If you could spend a month traveling around one country, where would it be and why?

The USA as its so diverse - and their food portions are mega!

4. Which celebrity would you like to be stuck in a lift with for 3 hours?

Alfie Boe - he's my boy of the moment

5. If you were Olympic trained, in which sport would you like to participate in?

Any of the equestrian ones, I love animals.

Born October 8th [several years ago!] makes Lynn a Libra which is defined as positive outwardly expressive and extrovert which is pretty accurate.

They are also renowned for taking the middle line and seeing things from both sides - dont ask her to make a decision, it will take her ages! Libra is an air sign which is quite funny as her one phobia is fear of flying.

Born on the lovely island of Malta - her mum just happened to be there at the time - Lynn grew up alternatively living in Malta and Scarborough in the north of England - with 3 years in Cyprus thrown in for good measure - somewhat of a nomad then.

She went to the University of Warwick where she obtained a BA honours degree in English and Drama then attended Mountview Theatre School in London obtaining a postgraduate acting diploma before embarking on a career in "showbiz" but like most luvvies had to do various other jobs along the way as well - her first job was as a waitress in Scarborough but only lasted a week as she got sacked for dropping a pile of fish bones into a gentleman's lap.

She moved to Spain with her partner David in 1999 and has continued to nurture her love of acting by becoming involved with the Salon Varietes Theatre and has appeared in numerous productions there.

Radio presenting is a relatively new string to her bow but she is absolutely loving it and is delighted and honoured to have been asked to join the team at Central fm - they all seem to share her sense of humour which is important because in the words of Charlie Chaplin A day without laughter is a day wasted.
