Teacher, hockey player and adventurer extraordinaire, Lexie girl Clarissa is currently half way across the world (check her awesome holiday pics below) but we managed to ask a few questions and find out what being a Lexie girl is all about…
Tell me us how you got into your line of work?
“I always had an interest in geography and the environment so decided to study it further. Teaching was always something that stuck out to me and I decided to do a course on that and here I am, loving my job and being able to share my passion with others”
What is the strangest sport you have ever tried?
Not sure really, I love doing long jump and hockey but I’ve recently found a passion for adventure courses and tackling the mud so I guess that’s a bit strange?
If you were in the Olympics, what sport would you want to compete in?
“Long jump or hockey I think. Leaning slightly towards hockey as it’s a team sport and I love being in those sort of environments.”
When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?
“An athlete really but I also loved the idea of being a teacher. Stuck with the second one and here I am!”
And finally Clarissa what does your future hold?
“I’m really enjoying my current job so I would ideally want to keep progressing in this line of work. Also keep active and try out even more sports and challenges.”

There isn’t much our Hayley can’t do. From massaging Nick Gimshaw live on radio one to training with celebs in gymnastics for the upcoming BBC tumble, Hayley is a master of all things sport!
Our resident flexi, we spent some time asking Hayley the really important stuff , discovering her weird obsession with her phone and a strong love of Will Smith...
Tell me how you got into your line of work?
“It’s quite a long story but was always into playing sport and I originally wanted to be a PE teacher or Physio. Then I started dancing at school and after doing a solo in a show my teachers said I should apply for Dance College. So I studied dance for three years which I loved but when I finished I felt I needed something else to back me financially. I always had sports massages and I was always interested in that area so I decided to train so I was fully qualified. Recently I started teaching pilates too. Sports modelling began when I was at college and developed from there really. I got signed by a sports agency and since then I have been able to work with many companies.”
What is the strangest sport you have ever tried?
“Strangest sport.. I know I have done tag rugby but that’s not very weird. I have also been involved with aerial acrobatics which was good fun.”
If you were an animal, what would you be?
“Everyone says that I would be a flamingo because I am always standing on one leg and look quite bird like! I would want to be a killer whale though as I just love them!”
If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be?
“Will smith probably as he has great views in life and an amazing story of how he got to where he is”
What’s your annoying habit?
“I go on my phone way too much! I'll check it unnecessarily and just waste so much time on it. I'll refresh my facebook feed and then 5 minutes later, I'll do it again. I should do something more productive like read a book or something.”
If you were in the Olympics, what sport would you want to compete in?
“I would want to do 100m sprint as it’s the biggest and most hyped up event.”
Pick two celebrities to be your parents... Go!
“Will Smith and Meryl Streep, I'm a big fan of both”
What’s something you’re bad at but wished you were good at?
“Singing. I really really can’t sing! My friends keep telling me I should go into acting which is random as I don’t think I can act and singing is definitely not a strong point.”
When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?
“Vet was always my first dream and then I wanted to be a PE teacher when I found my love for sport.”
What does your future hold?
“I want to do lots more dancing and modelling jobs. Keep my client base for my sports massages but it would be great to work from home. I would love to buy a nice home and convert it to having a treatment room and studio where I can teach classes.”

We grabbed our girl, Georgia for a chinwag and had some burning questions left to be answered so out in the sunshine we found out...
If you were an animal, what would you be?
I’m always comparing people to animals! I’d say an Ant for their characteristics like being small but strong and very determined (have you seen what one Ant can carry?! It’s mental).
If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be?
Amy Winehouse no doubt.
What’s your annoying habit?
Being a perfectionist I think. If a task pops up, small or important I can’t calm down until it’s done and I always strive to do as best I can, which sometimes means pushing other people a bit too far. I need to learn to prioritise a bit better.
If you were in the Olympics, what sport would you want to compete in?
I’d be in the 100m sprint. I used to run for my school, and I was ALWAYS second fastest. I love the thrill and fast pace of the 100m.
Pick two celebrities to be your parents...Go!
Probably Patti Smith and Ray Davies. They are both incredible people, and seem very down to earth. I reckon we’d have a pretty liberal and fun household.
What’s something you’re bad at but wished you were good at?
I wish I could draw sometimes. I love looking at visual stimuli to inspire my music, and I have images in my head I’d love to get onto paper, but I’m so useless I can’t even doodle properly!
When you were younger, where did you fancy living when you grew up?
Somewhere imaginary. I loved the idea of fairies and mystical lands. Somewhere where everything is very dreamy and neutral in colour, where you can ride a horse anywhere you go and nothing is bad or evil but everything is beautiful. Narnia was somewhere I absolutely loved the sound of.
What song title best describes you?
I’d say ‘Dancing Barefoot’ by Patti Smith. I’m not saying i’m a hippy or anything, but this title says to me something about not caring what people think. I’ve always been a bit nutty, and never worried about doing what I want to do if someone else doesn’t like it or judges me. I think that’s how everyone should live … in the moment, and free or judgement!
What does your future hold?
I like to think it will hold a successful music career… by successful I don’t mean a career like Rihanna's, but more along the lines of those like Laura Marling. A career that lasts, and with each record I want to grow as an artist and performer. I want a core fan base that loves not only my voice but the music I write too!

XXFree spirited songbird Georgia Thursting swung by town for the day, so we grabbed her for a quick workout session and caught up on the world of EPs, NYC and being a vet...
What have you been up to recently?
I’ve been busy recoding my EP and going on holidays! Recording takes a lot longer than you ever anticipate but it’s going well. I’m about 70% done, mainly vocals to go. I’ve been having lots of sessions with my producer and engineer Ben, discussing what works best for each song and messing around with different arrangements - there’s rumors of a triangle solo on the horizon for one of the tunes ;)
As it's our birthday this weekend, if you could have anything for yours what would it be?
For my birthday? Well I just had mine in June and I got what i wanted, a trip to NYC... It was amazing! I’m too lucky, I even got to see the Queen of Soul Aretha in concert. On the other hand, for Lexie’s birthday I would buy you a massive concert in a park in London somewhere with all the kick ass women in music performing on the bill. There’d be a dance stage too, and sports day games hahaha, maybe in a few years?
When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?
There was brief phase of me wanting to be a vet when I was really little, but I soon realised I wouldn’t be able to handle the hands on side like surgery. I think I thought being a vet was about running around all day with cute animals haha. Since watching Titanic and falling in love with the theme tune at the age of 6, it’s all been about singing and music!
What does your future hold?
I like to think it will hold a successful music career… by successful I don’t mean a career like Rihanna's, but more along the lines of those like Laura Marling. A career that lasts, and with each record I want to grow as an artist and performer. I want a core fan base that loves not only my voice but the music I write too!
