Apologies for the link to the Daily Heil, but interesting what Steph McGovern had to say about the town and how people made assumptions about her because of where she came from and her accent.
One thing that got me wondering though, is this claim that her Mam and Dad lived in the middle of this "no go zone". Now ignoring that there's not really anywhere I would describe in that way, I'd always thought she was from a fairly middle class family and grew up in Nunthorpe or Acklam ?
