The X Factor' is great entertainment, but it doesn't prepare people for getting chewed up and spat out by the music industry.

I must confess I knew very little about the trance scene, I'm more house and commercial dance but it was really interesting and different.

Turning the thermostat down is something that I do pretty reluctantly. I like to be able to walk around in whatever I fancy at home.

I was an only child, but then my parents resettled with different partners, and I am now one of six.

I'm a little bit allergic to the whole brand thing to be honest but maybe it's just happening around me and I'm not really aware of it.

I'm all for consumer rights. I get very aggravated if I don't get a good service.

Having a successful first album is one thing, but a successful third is another.
