I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.
I've got some news... I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon.
I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.
Be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you're making it for a good reason.
I've always got on better with boys. Most of my friends are boys. Like, if I have children, I want five boys. Boys love their mothers whereas girls can be so mean to each other.

In our generation, everybody told us that it's really important and it's nice to be able to speak a lot of languages. It's an art, too. It really impresses me, people who speak, like, seven languages. I admire them so much, so I began with English, and then Spanish and maybe Portuguese.
Since smugglers smuggle to make money, if we can hit them in the pocketbook we hope this can serve as a deterrent.
Obviously, people change their situations, and we want to make sure they are maintaining all the requirements of the program.
