Birkett was brought up in the suburbs of [[Surrey]], [[England]]. As a child she watched the circus parade through her town, which made her want to be in a circus. When she had her eldest daughter [[Storme Toolis]] in year 1992, she left her daughter with her child’s father Kevin Toolis, so she could run away to the circus. She left the circus in year 1993 but when Birkett turned 60 years of age, she “ran away” again to return to the Circus life beside her youngest child River Toolis.<ref>{{Cite news|last=McQuillan|first=Deirdre|title=Sawdust and sequins: Why I ran away to join the circus at 60|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/sawdust-and-sequins-why-i-ran-away-to-join-the-circus-at-60-1.3570419|access-date=2020-11-10|newspaper=The Irish Times|language=en}}</ref>
