At 14, she decided to become a writer and began making tea and contributing to her local newspaper. She attended Appleton Hall High School, a comprehensive public school in Appleton, Warrington, which was previously a grammar school.

She was charming, always able to get what she wanted from people and, according to a childhood acquaintance named Louise Weir, “more emotionally intelligent than academically”.

Although Brooks claimed in her Who’s Who profile to have studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, she did not claim to have a degree and did not respond to subsequent inquiries about it. Stephen Glover claimed she was employed by the News of the World when she was 20 in a 2003 Spectator article.

For her services to journalism, Brooks was awarded an honorary fellowship at the University of the Arts London in 2010. She did not complete her degree while studying at the now-incorporated London College of Communication.

Henry Porter, an expert, says that nothing is known about Brooks personally. Tim Minogue, one of her early co-editors at Private Eye magazine before she turned to journalism, remembers her as “a nice, slim, hollow-eyed girl who was really ambitious”.
