11 things you might not know about Jasmine

🙈I once bumped into Justin Timberlake going into a nightclub in Las Vegas. I’d like to say I played it cool, but I almost fainted and screamed in his face. He just laughed and told me to have a good night, which made me love him even more than I already did.

🍔In my late teens, I decided I wanted to be an actress and went to audition for a role in Hollyoaks. The queue to audition was massive though, so after two hours of waiting, I left my dreams behind and went to MacDonalds for lunch instead.

📺A couple of years later, I did a summer season working in a bar in Greece and finally made my TV debut. A brief appearance on one of the classiest programmes around, Club Reps

👩‍🔬If I wasn’t in PR, I’d be a human rights lawyer, an activist, a scientist, or work in a zoo.

💇‍♀️I almost became a hairdresser after leaving school and spent a year training in a salon before I decided it wasn’t for me.

📚 I’m a huge fan of books and try to read at least two a month. Recent faves include: Where The Crawdads Sing, Sorrow & Bliss and Around The Table.

🐵When I was younger, I was a huge animal rights activist. I put on plays about animal testing, made all the local kids collect litter with me so animals wouldn’t get trapped in it, and was a vegetarian for two years.

🌴In the last job I had before setting up Content Soup, I took a three month sabbatical and went travelling around India and South East Asia. It was the best three months of my life.

🧹I love cleaning products. If you want to know about the latest hoover or the best anti-bac spray, I’m your woman.

🕷 I don’t like spiders, dishonesty, rain or getting up on dark winter mornings.

🎓When I picked my GCSE options at school, I tried to be alternative and chose Art and Music. Unfortunately, I was rubbish at both and failed spectacularly. Luckily, my educational credentials got better with time and I went on to get a First Class Honours in my degree.
