    ‘Dad would whip her with his belt’: Meet Michelle Sheekey

    09/06/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    Michelle Sheekey admits most of her childhood was 'pretty traumatic'.
    Living with an abusive and violent dad, Michelle had no idea what home would be like when she got home.
    Her dad would strip the house of all furniture. Sometimes he would use his belt to beat her mum.
    It was so bad, Michelle admits that as a very young child, her and her siblings would hide in bed and plot how they could kill him.
    In this emotional episode, Michelle shares the story of her harrowing upbringing - including the devastating death of her brother and being kicked out of home at 16 - and how it shaped a remarkable career.
    A successful coach and owner of the North East's biggest independent nursery, Michelle has defied the odds time and time again.
