On the 14th of November 1975 at 5.30am in the town of Northampton Faye Tozer was born. At school Faye was a bit of a trouble maker, and was once caught scaling the walls of a toilet cubicle! The headmistress made her and her friends clean down the walls after the mess they made. Her favorite lessons at school were art and drama, but she disliked History and Geography. She started school a year early so later in her academic career was held back at the age of eight. Up until then her best friend was Jenny Swain, and after she changed years she became close friends to Lisa Valentine.

As a street-wise individual Faye spent time with her friends anywhere that she could get away with it. Her first item of clothing that she bought herself was a simple pair of jeans when she was 14 years old. She has developed a good taste in clothing as she can always be found in the most fashionable gear around. She is very adventurous with her look and changes her hair style more often than the band's colour scheme! This always pays off though, as every new do looks fab, who can forget those wicked dreadlocks that were simply the best! Although you wouldn't guess it now she was never allowed to pierce her ears until the age of 16, always the rebel she didn't hold back and got three piercings on each ear as well as having her belly button pierced, ouch!

Faye's first ever showbiz experience was when she was at the very young age of six. This was when she performed her first song and dance to a rabbit on stage, it was the song by Michael Jackson, "Ben". The first celebrity who Faye met was a member of the massive 60's band The Monkees, Davy Jones. They met when she joined the cast of a pantomime, which incidentaly was the first pantomime she did at the age of 6. He gave every member of the cast a Christmas present which consisted of some bubble bath, a little picture of a cat and a signed photo of himself. Her first crush was on 80's pop star, Adam Ant, she thought he was gorgeous. She always wanted to go into the dancing profession, and would have become a ballerina if she hadn't been told that she wasn't the right shape. Now she has had those early dreams realised by becoming a member of undoubtably the biggest dancing sensation in the world, and effectively contributing to what is a new genre of dance.

There are a few things that Faye simply cannot live without whenever she goes on tour with the band. In her bag she always carries her lip balm, mascara, purse, her mobile phone and the one item that the fashion conscious can't be seen without...sunglasses! Lucky for Faye she doesn't require much sleep, with only six hours of snoozing she can be up and fresh the next day, which is bound to come in handy with all those overnight trips when travelling the world. The highlight of going on tour for Faye is that she gets the chance to get out there in front of all the fans and prove to the world that STEPS can actually sing live. While on stage Faye says that the most fun song to perform was the revamped version of "5-6-7-8". She loved the fact that they could take the mickey out of themselves by putting on total hoedown, and she had a great laugh doing so. Before going on stage she likes to do a bit of group bonding by doing somthing really silly like making jokes or saying something completely ridiculous to each other like "You rooooock!". She does get a little nervous about going on stage but considers this to be a healthy way of preparing as it focus' her mind on the performance ahead. One embarrasing moment was when she tripped over her shoe lace live on stage when the band played a gig at Nottingham. Always the professional, she stopped herself just before hitting the floor and pretended it was part of the dance routine!

So what lies ahead for Faye? Well she will be meeting up with the rest of the Stepsters on the CBBC program 'STEPS To The Stars' which is presented by H and Claire. The whole band will be performing a different STEPS song on each episode, thats a total of seven poptastic tracks! Faye isn't new to a bit of presenting either as she has done a truly Steptacular job of filling in for regular presenter Kat Deeley on 'SMTV Live', joining H to present 'MTV Select', and teaming up with Lee to present the Pepsi Chart. Plus you can catch Faye on tour with the guys in May 2000 as well as finishing off the current record breaking 33 date Next Step arena tour. And don't forget to tune into the various TV shows in the run up to Christmas as she will be showing off her naughty side when she puts on her devil horns and performs the new double A-side single "Better The Devil You Know" and "Say You'll Be Mine" with the band.
