Rachel Riley is the offspring of a depressingly unbroken home. Her mum and dad refuse to let her have a mobile phone, and have banned Ribena and Eastenders. Her seven year old brother buys Will Young dolls from eBay and talks in Elvish, and the adopted dog eats her 'Pride and Prejudice' boxed collection. It's time for change.
