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:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
