I've always enjoyed dressing up and experimenting with make-up and doing hair. I'd have loved to have been a make-up artist if I didn't do what I do. I love opening a make-up bag and seeing loads of stuff - all the possibilities.

I never wanted to be an actress, I always wanted to sing and dance but fell into acting by accident.

Touring has never been a big ambition of mine, but no doubt it will happen.

I love performing live and 'Feel the Noise' has been a great experience for me pretending to be a popstar for a bit.

I love singing, it's what I've always done, and it's what I totally get lost.

I started off in social clubs when I was 14 and then went onto cruise ships when I was 22. It was just a great way to travel and see the world.

Some songs did come my way by accident like 'Someday I'll Find You' and 'I Hope You Dance', but generally I knew what I wanted to do.

I have to watch what I eat. I love food and I love drinking and I love all the things that you shouldn't do.

It's funny, my last boyfriend hated anything glitzy, and when I broke up with him I went and bought lots of glitzy gear and I thought, actually this is me, I love a bit of glitter.

I'm not really a vain person. When I cry, my nose swells up and I look like Albert Tatlock.

I'm not pretending to be a beauty queen, I'm not a model. I'm me.

I wouldn't say I'm a great looker, I'm quite plain but I do try to make the best of myself. I've got little eyes, but I think they're friendly, I've got quite full lips so I'm glad I don't have to do that whole lippy thing.
