“There’s a variety of things. I have been working, I know the B Force are very annoyed with me. They feel I have been quiet but I have been working and not sharing, but I’ve gone much quieter.

“That’s because I’m 35 and the older you grow, the quieter you become and that’s because I did all the shouting and dancing when I was 20,” said Matheba.
