I was shocked by the amount of Welsh people in L.A. We'd go to this British pub to watch the 'Six Nations' early in the morning and I remember the first time I walked in it was just a sea of red.

But it is my happiness to be half Welsh and that the better half.

I am the granddaughter of a Welsh coal miner who was determined that his kids get out of the mines. My dad got his first job when he was six years old in a little village in Wales called Nantyffyllon cleaning bottles at the Colliers Arms.

I'm still a Welsh girl at heart so I'm staying in the U.K. for the Olympics it's such an exciting time for Britain so it's amazing to be a part of it.
