Pegg has
been living
the dream
and has
created a
stir in the
social media
world with
Tweets
between
herself and
world wide
sensation
Justin
Bieber.
At home Pegg's
greatest
supporter,
Mickey
Parker,
her 93 year
old
Grandmother
was
faithfully
watching
each day and
when she was
shown some
of the news
reports on
the internet
she asked
"who's
Justin Bieber?"
Despite Pegg
being an
Olympian she
will have
some
explaining
to do when
she gets
home.
"I think she
did really
good." said
Parker "I'm
really proud
of her".
