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.

My name's Jennifer Ellison and one day I'm going to be famous!

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

I know people will think it's funny because I've done glamour modelling in the past, but I felt embarrassed about my body and just wanted to cover it up.

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

I got a mortgage at 17! I didn't even know you could get a mortgage at 17.
