What I am is how I came out. No one's perfect and you just have to accept your flaws and learn to love yourself.

I remember when I got to 16, my mum was like, 'No, now you've got to go and get a proper job. We've indulged you long enough.' I don't think they ever thought I was going to be successful in entertainment at all.

I've loved acting and dancing since I was a kid. Before anyone thought I was pretty or before I had a voluptuous figure, that was what I was going to do.

I've always paid my own way, I've never lived off anyone.

I feel a lot more comfortable on stage in the theatre. It just reminds me of being a kid and doing pantomimes.

Women in the 1950s were so much sexier. That's what I aspire to look like.
