Lisa said: “I went to watch one of their shows last year and got talking to them about hula hooping.
“They asked me if I would like to do a few shows and I agreed.”
She said how much she enjoyed performing in them all.

“It was nice as I had some friends from Horsham come down. They started shouting my name which was nice but I was like, do not put me off.
“I did enjoy it. I must have enjoyed it as there are pictures of me smiling.
“It was quite nice to hear people cheering.”
Lisa started hula hooping two years ago and used her children’s hoops to practice while they were at school.
