My family traveled with a whole community to European festivals. My mum did gymnastics, freak show performances, and swung fire in the circus, so I followed her footsteps.

The day I was born, my house burnt down; the day I left home, the Twin Towers burnt down; and I lived in a jungle in India at 15.

I don't believe in trying to be somebody you're not - just be a bigger, better version of yourself.

I was always a bit of a showgirl; it was in my blood. I never thought I would have a career as a singer, though.

My background sets me apart. I've never been able to relate to many people. I've always been the outcast child.

My ancestors are all crazy. My great-great-granddad, he was the last man to live in a cave in Nottingham.

My dad brought me Michael Jackson and Madonna and said, "This is ALL you need to know!"
