'In one corner you had your sink and your cooker, and there was a recess where your bed was. Then there was an absolutely disgusting outside toilet, and you went to the public baths to have a bath. 'My mum kept our place immaculate - which is where I get my tidy gene from. To this day, I can't leave washing up in the sink, because I think the tidy police are going to arrest me.'She praised her father for taking their family out of a 'deprived background' through 'sheer hard graft'. The family later moved to Bridgeton and eventually settled in East Kilbride where Lorraine began her media career working for local newspaper the East Kilbride News.
