Despite rising to fame in girl group Deuce, she thinks she’s much ‘better backstage’ than in the spotlight and has no intentions of crossing back over.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Lisa revealed that she turned to make-up, as she craved a career with ‘longevity’ following her girlband days.
‘It just got to the point where I’ve been there, done that and I wanted something with longevity. I took myself back to college, got a job in a pub and did a make-up diploma. I wanted to be part of the arts, but in a different position. It’s hard work and you’re only as good as your last job,’ she explained.
Asked if she’d ever star on Strictly as a celebrity dancer, Lisa said: ‘Oh god no, I think I’m better off backstage. I’m not in a celebrity capacity and I think you have to be a celebrity to even warrant being on [Strictly Come Dancing].
‘I am better off creating the looks than any fancy footwork.’
