Sonia Beasley is the receptionist at Penzance’s Lord Nelson hotel. She is the only daughter of the hotel’s owner and is being reluctantly shown how to run the business. Her father hopes that one day she will take it over, but Sonia has other ideas and dreams of making the big time as a singer. She thinks she’s got the X-Factor and spends her days behind the reception desk dreaming of performing on stage.
Sonia lives on her own in the hotel’s staff accommodation and is in a relationship with Michael the head waiter.
She likes music, clubbing and sunbathing and wants to spend next summer in Ibiza. Not Penzance.
