I'd love to be an artist always, but if no one wants me, I'd love to write songs for other people, be a manager, nurture new talent.

My aim in life is never to be skinny.

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 won't let you close enough to hurt me.

My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.
