Skype is a wonderful thing. The irony is that you never Skype when you're in the same country as someone.

I play piano and guitar and I do write my own stuff so to a certain extent I know what I want to do in regards to music. But I'm still finding out what kind of music is my favourite kind to listen to, never mind do myself so I've got a lot of time to find out myself and develop myself as an artist.

If I'd just been interested in record sales, I would have taken one of the deals I was offered after 'Soapstar Superstar,' made a quick covers album and probably had some success for five minutes. I decided that wasn't for me.

I've never been out with any of the cast of Coronation Street. We're all very close friends so it's very much a professional attitude.

I trust my mom with anything. If I have a problem, my mom is always the first person I go to.

I have really diverse tastes, which can be problematic sometimes, but it's good because it means I'm always listening to as much music as possible. I love listening to music, whatever genre it is.
