"When I was playing for QPR girls, we lived in north west London and used to take me, but it just became too much for her with my other siblings," she said.Tagoe's extraordinary range of talents also includes being signed to an international model agency, while she recently took up surfing.But athletics has always been the arena in which she was most determined to succeed.
