Singer-turned-foodie who got her first taste of fame in the early 1980s when, aged 16, she joined her brother Sean as second vocalist in the cult post-punk-reggae-jazz-funk group Rip, Rig + Panic (their lead vocalist being Neneh Cherry - and the two are still best friends to this day). From the 1990s she moved in a more culinary direction, leading to the opening of her Stoke Newington restaurant, Andi's Wadadli Kitchen, and a starring role on Great British Menu.
