I was born and brought up in Liverpool with my clever little sister Jemma, who is 14 and wants to be a vet. My mum Jane is an administrator and my dad Peter is a taxi driver.

I eat a lot of chicken with salad or salmon with salad.

Dad worked in a warehouse when I was little and I didn't see him for three years as he was doing all the overtime God gave him to buy me new ballet shoes, or a new tutu.

I always wanted to act and sing, but my first love was ballet.

I'd already put on a bit of weight before I got pregnant.

I just wanted to perform, to sing, dance and act.

I want to tell people that I had post-natal depression because there is so much stigma around the subject and there shouldn't be.
