I don't think that money makes you any better brought up than I was.

I can never go to a clairvoyant. I'd be too afraid of what they might tap into.

I would never have been discovered without the X Factor. I was just doing the working men's clubs and I loved doing that. That was the life for me at that time. I never expected to be noticed doing that, that's why I went for X Factor by myself.

Have you any idea what it's like to live under the same roof as four women? Armageddon is the best word for it.

I grew up in Manchester in a big Irish family - there are seven of us in all - so my life has always been about role-playing, about doing anything for a laugh. I'm always joking about; that's the way I am.

I'd love to venture into TV or do some gritty dramas - Guy Ritchie, that kind of thing.

It's easy to have the wrong type of people around you.
