Raised in Dorset, May spent two years away from school because of chronic illness, and began making candid online posts and homemade song videos.

It led to her studying at Berklee College of Music's summer programme before continuing her musical education at the Royal Northern College of Music.

The News "explores the emotional whiplash of discovering that someone who promised forever has already begun building a future with somebody else".
