During an exclusive interview with HELLO! in 2022, Natasha revealed how her dad influenced her career by taking her to a contemporary art auction after she completed a History of Art degree at Glasgow University.

“So I have a lot to thank him for and remember very, very clearly a genuine milestone moment,” she added.
