The Mexican model loving life in Shropshire

Maria Kelly is originally from Mexico but now lives in Shrewsbury. A chance encounter at a party led her to fall in love with an Englishman and move halfway across the world, eventually settling in Shropshire. Maria tells BBC Radio Shropshire's Clare Ashford, how Mexico became too dangerous, how she starred on a billboard in New York's Times Square, and why she's become an unlikely champion of mashed potato.
