Early life[edit]
Born in 1995, Ivers sees herself as both English and Scottish:[6]
I was born in England. I was educated in England. I have an English accent. To any impartial observer, I am English. However, my family live in a small town just outside of Glasgow. I have four sisters and a stepmother who are all indisputably Scottish. My father has an English accent, but has lived on the west coast of Scotland for as long as I can remember. When I talk about visiting them, I talk about going home.
