Personal Life
Cameron was born in Dundee and is adopted; her birth mother (whose name Cameron keeps secret) was from North Shields and her biological father is shown as "unknown" on the adoption records. In 2006, on a Channel 4 programme In Your Dreams, she spoke of her upbringing in Edinburgh's Grindlay Street and of moving with her family to Musselburgh at the age of seven. She attended Musselburgh Grammar School.
Cameron previously had relationships with comedian Sue Perkins and with writer Linda Gibson. It is sometimes stated that, while she was a contestant on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Cameron outed Perkins as her past lesbian partner. However, while her statement increased the number of people aware of their sexuality, their relationship had not previously been hidden and they had appeared content to be photographed as a couple by the press some months earlier.
Cameron's partner is teacher and athlete, Suran Dickson.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The minutes wing’d their way wi’ pleasure:
Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious,
O’er a’ the ills o’ life victorious!”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
