Natalie took part in a questionnaire on the official "The Bill" website (thebill.com) selected answers are detailed here:
When asked if she has any interesting hobbies, Natalie replied "I love cooking, holistic treatments...a massage or reflexology�THANK YOU! Property buying, and most recently mountaineering (due to having reached Mount Kilimanjaro's 19.000 ft summit). I love vintage cars, the entire Roles family are into them. I have an original 60s Mini."
Natalie's favourite "The Bill" moment is "my first week doing a scene with Sergeant Cryer, and having to say to him "You're in grave danger of becoming like Dickson of Dock Green," which is a pretty horrible thing to have to say to a Sergeant that's been in The Bill for about 14 years. It was quite a moment, I felt really embarrassed saying it and didn't really know McAllister then. It felt really weird so I enjoyed that."
Natalie's favourite subject at school was human biology.
