“I was meant to be named ā€˜Kieraā€™, after a Russian ice skater who was on the TV one day. My dad fancied her and nicked her name for me. But it was my mum who went to register my birth, and she accidentally spelled ā€˜eiā€™ instead of ā€˜ieā€™ because my mumā€™s crap at spelling,ā€ she says. ā€œApparently, when she came back he said: ā€œWHAT THE F*CK? Youā€™ve spelt her name wrong!ā€ What were they going to do, though? Once itā€™s on the piece of paper, itā€™s on the piece of paper. And thatā€™s me. A spelling error.”
