The 5-Minute Interview: Sheree Murphy, Actress

'I'm spoilt, but really down to earth'

Sheree Murphy, 31, who played Tricia Dingle in 'Emmerdale', is supporting Child Trust Fund Week.

If I weren't talking to you right now I'd be...

Getting ready to pick up the kids from school and nursery.

A phrase I use far too often is...

"Oh my God."

I wish people would take more notice of...

Cruelty to children. My mum had a horrific upbringing. She grew up fine, but there are stories she's told me about others that had such traumatic experiences.

A common misperception of me is...

That I'm a spoilt footballer's wife. I am quite spoilt, but I'm very down to earth.

I'm good at...

Tap dancing.

But I'm very bad at...

Cooking.

In a nutshell, my philosophy is this:

To live every day like it's your last and to be happy. I can't bear to be around miserable people.
