I am, and always will be, proud to be a Hackney girl.

Working with other artists and sharing your passions is great.

I was the only one at stage school who wasn't white.

I'm trying to stay as healthy as possible but there's no pressure to be really skinny. No. That's just a bit wrong.

Diamonds are supposed to be a girl's best friend but it's impossible to know for sure where they have come from so I find it is safer just to avoid them altogether.

I don't get involved in record label politics.

I don't have many famous friends, really, except Simon Cowell.
