She has set up a luxury cake company which she runs from her parent’s house, with one employee so far – her boyfriend.

24-year-old Spencer who left school at 17 to start her business told 5 live “school wasn’t my strongest point - I left school to pursue the dream.”

“My mum worked incredibly hard to provide for us – seeing how hard she worked made me realise how hard I have to work,” she told us.
