Girls can be rude and filthy too and dolly wells from some girls proves it
Personal life

Born Dorothy Gatacre, she is the daughter of the late comic actor John Wells. Her mother, Teresa, is daughter of Sir Christopher Chancellor, general manager of Reuters from 1944-59. Wells grew up thinking her father was her step-father and didn't find out he was her biological father until she was 18. She later changed her name from Gatacre (her mother's first husband was Edward Gatacre) to Wells. Her first cousin is the actress Anna Chancellor.

Wells married photographer Mischa Richter in 2000. They have a daughter, Elsie (born 2002) and a son, Ezra (born 2005). Both appeared with their mother in Doll & Em.
