Jamie Lee O’Donnell Instagram – “Someone messaged me on Instagram wanting a picture of my feet,” says Jamie-Lee O’Donnell. “I gave him a quote [of £150,000], but he didn’t respond. But then I made the mistake of accidentally posting a picture of myself beside a pool [with my feet in shot], and I think it was the same guy who responded: ‘Finally, a picture of your feet.’ I was like, ‘Damn it! You could have got paid for that.’”

“There was a wee fire within me from a very young age. I was very driven and ambitious. I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t like that… Growing up among politically minded women and during a civil war meant you grew up with an attitude and an understanding that maybe you’re on the side of the unfairly judged and dismissed – and that you’re seen as a problem. I think that does something to your psyche.”
