added bedroom came dramas fell girl happier home life love music naive perform ready sing singing walking
I was naive in that I thought I could just sing and perform and do what I had always wanted to do all my life. But I wasn't ready for all the added dramas that came along. There were times I fell out of love with music and thought about walking away. I thought I was happier when I was that girl at home in my bedroom singing into my hairbrush.
definitely encourage future home jobs kids nine saturday sheltered work
Work made me more streetwise because you can be so sheltered at home. I'd definitely encourage my kids Lillie and Karl, who are nine and seven, to get Saturday jobs in the future.
home needs my-family
My family are too grounded, and I will go home to visit. I always need my dose of Liverpool to keep me grounded.
brother growing-up home
Growing up, we didn't have anything. My mum wasn't well, so I was in three care homes then foster homes before me and my little brother went back to her. I was passed from pillar to post.

I've been hugely inspired by the songwriting of Lauryn Hill and Tracy Chapman - on their albums, they really tell it like it is.

I've always been interested in beauty. I studied it when I was 16 and 17, and I know it's a good idea to invest in something alongside my music.
bit foundation life model obsessed pop secret trying
Sometimes I won't put a lot of make up on; I won't put foundation on. I'll just pop a bit of blusher on. I'm not obsessed with trying to look like a Victoria's Secret model - it's real life.
best buying guilt loads mum realised
You always have guilt as a working mum, and you overcompensate by buying them loads of things. That was what I was doing, anyway. I've kind of realised now that I'm the best mum that I can be.
good
I was really good at manicures, facials and make-up.
freedom given
I think jazz has given me freedom with my voice.
brothers closest felt older protective sam younger
We have two older brothers and two younger sisters; Sam and I are in the middle, and I've always felt protective and closest to him.
best dance looking love music pop
I do love dance music, but at the same time, I'm not looking to put out a big pop album. You've got to be the best you can be.
ok
I can do an OK manicure, but I need to stick to singing.
came money needed work
I came from nothing. We didn't have money, so I started work at 14 because I really needed the money.
