She grew up in Tottenham, North London, and went back for the programme, asking A level students at a school there what they thought would make them employable.She also used the programme to explore what everyday life was like for the generation of multiracial children born during World War Two.Jacky spoke about the importance of role models with one of her own: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former President of Liberia and the first elected female head of state in Africa.And there was also time for her to talk about her love of CSI with the show’s creator Anthony Zuiker.
