Not many people know this, but Canadian born Mercedes McNab is the daughter of former Huddersfield Town player and Arsenal Double-winning full back Bob McNab.

"Dad has pretty much retired from soccer, he's into real estate now," she told the Huddlesfield Examiner.

McNab, better known as Harmony Kendall the charismatic bottle blond vampire, visited the UK recently and revealed that she has been back to Huddersfield several times over the years to visit family who still live in the area.

One trip in particular sticks in her mind: "I spent two weeks in Yorkshire when I was six - and I went back to Canada with a thick Yorkshire accent!"

Mercedes also revealed her favourite moment in Buffy was her slapping and hair-pulling 'catfight' with Xander in season four's The Initiative. "We had to wear pads because the director thought we were going to hurt ourselves - Nick was scared of me!" she recalls.

Although she says that: "I have my blonde moments!" Mercedes wants to tackle a greater variety of acting roles. "I'd like to perform more meaty roles - playing a bitch can become one dimensional."
