Life and career
Born in South Africa in 1965,[1] Formby has recalled that while she was growing up there "dogs lived in kennels outside and never ever came into the house with their muddy paws".[2] She came to England and was educated at Wellington College, Berkshire. In her teens, David Bailey photographed her for a magazine cover and said she reminded him of Julie Christie. This led to modelling work for Clairol and Wella and to TV comm Nicola formby photo shoot!
