Biography

Early life
Born Catherine Jones, in Treboeth, in the parish of Llangyfelach, a working class area of Swansea, West Glamorgan in Wales. She is the middle of three children born to Dai Jones, a Welsh sweet factory owner, and Patricia Fair who hails from an Irish Catholic family.

Her father's cousin is married to singer Bonnie Tyler, who is also Welsh. Her uncle owns Swansea's Škoda car dealership as well as Llanelli A.F.C. football club. Her name stems from those of her grandmothers - her maternal grandmother, Katherine Fair, and her paternal grandmother, Zeta Jones.

After her parents won £100,000 at bingo in the 1980s, they moved to St. Andrews Drive in Mayals, an upper class area of Swansea. She attended the moderately-priced private school, Dumbarton House in Swansea where she was apparently an average student. Comedian and actor Rob Brydon also went there.

She left school early
