Lily was born to single parent, Mary "Hellcat" Savage, outside The Legs Of Man public house in Liverpool on the 13 July 1955, the same day that Ruth Ellis was hanged. Lily's grandmother, Erica Von Savage, whose real name was Bernadette, was mad as a hatter and would say she was a secret agent going off on missions when actually she was working as a chalet maid on the Isle of Man. She died of hypothermia after shoplifting frozen turkeys from Bejam. Erica had loved playing with kids so after she was cremated her ashes were put in an Etch-a-Sketch.
