Biography

McAlpine has been in a relationship with Chris Farr, a restaurant manager, since 2005. On the subject of her Scottish ancestry, and famous red hair she said:




“

I'm very proud of my Scottish roots and definitely love coming up to Scotland. When I'm in England I really stand out because of my red hair but when I come up to Scotland I feel normal because there are so many people with my colouring. I definitely feel different having red hair, but in a good way. Even though I may sound it, I am no way English. My granddad Alan was Scottish and my grandmother was Irish. My other granddad was born in England but his parents were Scottish.
