Just as I love women, I love gay men. I always say it: inside me there is a gay man who wants to come out.

I was never going to give Mariah Carey any competition.

We are still so close, David and I. We were at a party the other day at my mum's house and I was sitting on his lap. We're very affectionate. And I looked at him and thought after being married for 11 years! We were the only couple who were even near each other at that party. We're soul mates.

I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way.

I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!

So what if you end up buying a size 6 instead of a 4? You can always cut out the label at home, and you’ll pretty soon forget whatever that number was because you’ll be too busy admiring how fantastic you look.

For me to go to America - which I find such a positive place - well, I took to it like a duck to water.
