What's really 'Behind the Steel' ?
Ever wondered what Jodi Brown's favourite food is? Or what Demelza McCloud wanted to be when she grew up? Did Hayley Saunders ALWAYS do her homework? And just who is the secret baker in the Steel line-up ?

We've produced a great new kids book with the help of our good friends at Clicked Yet and Solid Energy, and each week we'll be unveiling a new page on our website.
