I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.

We always talked [with Andrew Ridgeley] about when it would happen - we always knew that I would go on to have a solo career.

I think my idea of a perfect romance is when two people really belong to each other.

It was like I had a curse on me. I couldn't believe how much God was piling on. There was so much death around me.

Only time will set you free, just like me

By the time I was in my early teens, we were able to move into a much more middle-class area. I had a comfortable adolescence.

I thought I had fallen in love with a woman a couple of times. Then I fell in love with a man, and realised that none of those things had been love.
