Five minutes with Nurse Nellie - star of Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood at Scarborough Spa

Nurse Nellie is famous for her double entendres and outrageous outfits – all of which are hand-stitched. Well, they have the audience in stitches.

Nurse Nellie is related to Dame Trott and Widow Twankey.

She is one of three but never talks about her Ugly Sisters.

She got her jewellery for a steal – and believes in taking money and goods form the rich and keeping them.

She has taken time out from helping outlaw Robin Hood find the babes to tell us about her life in Sherwood Forest and what she wants for Christmas.

How did you end up living in Nottingham Forest

I wanted to live like a pop star. I wondered would any live here, Cher would (Sherwood)

Who is your ideal hero

It can only be our very own Robin Hood

Tell me about your beauty regime

After the Polyfilla and botox, I liberally apply a full tub of face paint and after six hours I’m ready

You always look gorgeous darling. Where do you get your fashion sense from - any influences? And what’s your favourite outfit

You would be a very good in the BBC’s Casualty. How do you think you would fit in at Holby

I’d be the eye candy of course.

Howwould winning the lottery – or getting yourhands on the Sheriff of Nottingham’s fortune – change you? I’d still be thesame old me. I might buy myself a little lottery dress. If my number comes up, I’m in fora rollover
