I believe I could have had a career in the music industry without 'X Factor,' but it was an amazing platform that propelled me to where I am now.

I would like to be a positive force for young girls.

It takes bravery to end a relationship.

My private life is the most precious thing to me.

I'd always been quite quiet growing up, and singing was a way of having a voice.

I don't really read the tabloids, and you never know if what's being printed is true or not.

Love is a very powerful emotion and when a break-up is unexpected, it's very hard to get over.
