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.

If you are going to survive in business, show business or any business, then you have to be bold.

I am lucky in that I love what I do, but it can still be hard to be away from the kids for long lengths of time. At the end of the day, all I want is to be with my kids, but it's worth it to create a future for my family.

I'd definitely like more kids when I'm older. And I think I'm like every woman in that I'd like to get married one day.

I don't tend to lie. If I do, it's a little one. Like, 'I'm only around the corner...' when really I'm 10 minutes away.

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