I try not to read about myself. Why would reading about yourself be interesting? You're only going to be told you're doing a good job and get big headed about it, or be told you're rubbish and get down in the dumps. What's the point?

I've got a really great family round me, two sisters and an older brother and my mum and dad. Everybody's equal.
