[edit] Early life

Hobley was born and raised in London. Very shy as a child, Hobley was sent to speech and drama classes in an attempt to counter her introversion. At the time, she tried various other activities, as well, including Brownies and horse riding, but found that acting was her passion. She attended Bishop Douglass Secondary School in East Finchley. Hobley enrolled with a very strict speech and drama teacher, whom she adored and stayed with for fifteen years, before moving from there to drama school.^[1]. Her eldest daughter Isabella, aged 10, is now being taught by this same inspirational speech and drama teacher, Mrs Stoker.

Tina is also a supporter of seriously ill children through the The Starlight Foundation. She also supports both Barnados and the Terrence Higgins Trust.

On 22 April 2006 her boyfriend of the past year Freud Communications Director and member of supergroup Westbourne Circus Oliver (Oli) Wheeler proposed to Tina at their Cotswolds cottage.^[3] Tina and Oli were married in December 2006 in the Cotswolds.
