Interviewer: Your first snog. When was it and who was it with?
Florence: Oh, I don’t want to tell the story!
Interviewer: Oh come on!
Florence: Um, it was on my trampoline…I was 11. And it was like, uh, with my friend’s brother’s friend. And they were just going, “Awe yeah! You guys should snog, you guys should snog.” and I didn’t know kinda what it entailed. And I was like, “Oh yeah, okay I’ll do it.” I stood up, and it was so horrible. It was like a washing machine…. I sent everyone away and then watched Sister, Sister on Nickelodeon and cried.
