I was 14 when I started modeling. At the end of that first day my mum said, 'If you want to do this, you're on your own because I'm not traipsing around London ever again like that. It's a nightmare.'

I'm not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I'm alright.

There was a point when it all really took off and got quite overwhelming, even though I didn't realize it.

I definitely feel more comfortable in my own skin since turning 40.

I was amazed at the support that I got when I was in there. And when I came out people knew that I was back on track. I was interested in working again.

I don't get why it would be interesting. I'm not that different. And also, now with Instagram and everything, everyone's so on their phones that even when I'm in a restaurant like this, where you wouldn't expect it, someone will come up and ask to get a picture with me and I'm like, 'No!'
