Life and career[edit]

Cait Rose Fitton was born on 8 March 2002 in Oldham, Lancashire.[1][2] She ventured into performing arts at the age of three.[1] She attended Siddal Moor Sports College and the Carol Godby Theatre Workshop, and whilst attending the latter, she produced and sold her own CD online to raise money for a children's hospice.[1] In 2013, she made her television debut in the CBBC entertainment series The Johnny and Inel Show as a child singer, and appeared as various characters in the CBeebies comedy programme Gigglebiz.[3][4] The following year, she appeared in an episode of 4 O'Clock Club.[5] Fitton also appeared in advertisements for Asda and McDonald's.[5]
