I like to write poetry.

Growing up, we didn't have anything. My mum wasn't well, so I was in three care homes then foster homes before me and my little brother went back to her. I was passed from pillar to post.

I was looking for something to make me happy, and once I realised what I actually had, then I found success.

My advice is, if you are going to go on 'X Factor,' you have to know who you are as an artist.

I'm a better writer than I am a singer, and I express myself easily through writing.

If you are not happy with the song, don't sing it. Simple as that - no-one forces you to do it.

I like Marilyn Monroe; she was super glam, weren't she?
