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

I tasted huge success with my first album, and when it's happening it feels like a roller coaster you can't get off. You should be very careful about wishing for success on that scale.

The fact that my mother was on television every week while I was young was occasionally awkward, and often frustrating.

Also, I think women really come into their own in their 30s.

Come rain or shine I walk short distances rather than taking my car.

I try not to wear anything I have to fidget with - there's nothing worse than wearing something and pulling down the hem and re-adjusting the top. My pet hate is when girls wear those strapless dresses and spend the whole night yanking them up.

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