Rebecca Keane
Rebecca Keane won the Neatest Handwriting in Meath competition in 2002 and while her once delicate handwriting may have slightly strayed throughout the years, her passion for writing has not waned. Her hobbies include running for buses, telling all her problems to her dog, and discussing the tumultuous love lives of Irish celebs. Her dedication to watching soaps such as Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Eastenders ensure that her lifelong dream of becoming a Bette Lynch/Kat Slater hybrid should come to fruition any day now. She dislikes crazy drivers, catcalling, rude customers and people who ‘don’t find female comedians funny’.
