Her Mum's battle with  alcohol and depression - and a few years later her brother's tragic death in car accident. \r\n\r\nRather than letting this adversity define her, Gina found a positive way to harness it. This led to a career defining job in TV when she won Channel 4's 'Get Me The Producer' in 2007.  From there she quickly moved through the ranks at Graham Norton's TV production company, SoTV, ultimately seeing her produce TV and films independently that now are enjoyed by millions worldwide.\r\n\r\nGina discusses the reappearance of her alter ego Anxious Annie and the recent global news story of 'drunk couple buy Sri-Lankan hotel while on honeymoon' - which of course features Gina and her husband Mark and is now generating serious interest from Hollywood.\r\n\r\nWhere next for the fearless rude working-class girl from Northampton?
