She stole my job!
Well, she didn't really! But over 20 years ago, we both applied to be Britain's first astronaut! Needless to say, I didn't make the grade, but this lady, Helen Sharman, did.
I met and spoke to her a few years after she returned from her mission with the Russians on Mir and I was cheeky enough to tell her she had stolen my job! She was a lovely lady and it was good to see her on the BBC this morning, along with Tim Peake, who is to be Britain's first astronaut on the ISS.
This song seems apt
