Her mother, Myriam Fox-Jerusalmi, won bronze in 1996 for canoeing slalom (K1), while their father Richard Fox represented Britain for the same event in 1992. Her sister Jess, 30, made her Olympic debut as an 18-year-old at the 2012 London Games, going on to compete at Rio, Tokyo and Paris and winning six medals including three gold.
