I'm not annoying in relationships! I'm great!
I do love a bit of fashion. I grew up around a lot of it as my mum and dad had clothing stores so my mum was always designing a lot, and I definitely had that as an influence.
Usually when I see someone famous, for some reason, I think I know them.
Sometimes I think I want to get 'hair and make up' every day, but that's just not possible.
People don't really know me at all.
My parents have always done what they've loved, and they've had many different careers.
Kids need somewhere to go, so they're not bored on the street.
It takes me a while to come out of myself and get to know people.
I've always been conscious of my weight.
I'm really not that confident!
I'm quite curvy and I just try and exercise whenever I can. I don't do anything hardcore as I'm just not that dedicated.
Love is a very powerful emotion and when a break-up is unexpected, it's very hard to get over.
I'd always been quite quiet growing up, and singing was a way of having a voice.
I'd date someone younger or older age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
