I have always loved fashion since I was a kid and customized my school uniforms.

You'd have thought they'd have been on about Sir Elton John, and the fantastic goals David has scored which have got us through to the World Cup. But what they were really interested in was that I was holding a bag that had 'Sex' written on it. It's quite bizarre.

When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it's not to get attention. I'm not a supermodel. I make the best of what I've got. I work out to look the best that I can.

The only time I get upset by things written about me - when people write irresponsible things about my weight... I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

I was never a natural. I got there in the end because I did believe that if you work hard enough, then you can achieve a lot.

I don't believe anyone who says they don't care what people say about them. Of course they bloody well do.

I'm still me even after all that's happened.
