I'm very close to my family. Not like these big stars - not mentioning any names - who lose the plot and don't know who they are.

I don't do faddy diets any more. I once did a no-carbs diet a few years ago but it made me depressed. I couldn't be doing with that!

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.

Everyone thinks that just because you have a Scouse accent, then you must be 'on the rob'.

I want to be the best mum and I want everything to be perfect - I want a fairy tale really.

I came out of the womb born to sing and dance. I have to follow my heart.

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.
