Bradford is and always will be home to me. It’s a very special place and I’m happy to see it being recognised as the City of Culture for 2025. There are some exciting projects I am taking part in throughout the year that I can’t wait to share with you.

I’ve travelled all over the world but my roots and family remain in Bradford. Now we can celebrate this great city and the people who live and work here with the rest of the world.
