Actor Alexandra Roach looks back: I'm from a small town  when I snuck into a nightclub underage, 11 people told my dad'
"Born in Ammanford, south Wales, in 1987, Alexandra Roach began her career in the S4C soap Pobol y Cwm, before training at Rada in London. Her first major role was as a young Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady in 2011, and she has gone on to star in TV dramas including Utopia, No Offence, Hunderby and Being Human; she is currently staring in Amazon Prime Video's series Lazarus. She lives in Bristol with her husband and daughter."
"This is me in my living room. I'm 12 years old and proudly holding a letter I'd written to the local town council. In it, I pleaded with them to do something radical for the sake of the youth of Ammanford: open a Claire's Accessories. At this age, I was trying to figure out who I was. I was searching for a way to express myself, and I thought if I could just get my hands on a diamante headband and a glittery hair clip"
