Konnie originally wanted to be an actress but felt that there weren't many suitable roles for Asian girls. She told Henry:
"That's how I started out. I was in the National Youth Music Theatre with Jude Law, Matt Lucas – those sorts of people – about 10 years ago. Asians could not get a part except as a repressed daughter on EastEnders – no period dramas, nothing. I could try now but I wouldn't know what to do. I'm a presenter now."
How things might have been, who knows, perhaps even Wonder Woman ...
