Despite her celebrity status, Floella has kept facts about her children private, and as a result, there is little information about her daughter online.
Dame Floella wrote a book called Coming to England on her early memories.
She composed the book in response to her children’s frequent inquiries about her youth.

The book was published in 1997 and is now used to teach young people about modern history. CBBC adapted it into a television film in 2005.
