I literally change on the shop floor. I just stand there in my knickers sometimes.

As for the people who say tackling problems through clothes is superficial, I think they say that because they have their own issues about self worth.

The first time I was given money to shop for myself, I was 13 and staying with my godmother in New York. I went to Clinique and bought the three-step acne programme and felt so grown-up.

I look at younger girls and I think, 'Doesn't she look great? Isn't she pretty?' And while I know I'll never be there again, I'm past the age of feeling jealous. Maybe in my 30s I would have been, but that part of my life has gone.

If you want to make the best of yourself you don't necessarily need to diet - you need to wear the right stuff.

I had a strong faith that I would, eventually, have a baby.
