“I used to do cabaret as a kid and always wanted to pick it up again.”
“I feel I need to have people outside of show business who keep me grounded and define who I am.”
“Criticism is frightening.”
“I've used Dermalogica skin care for years, ever since a friend who works in a spa told me it was better than anything you can get from a beauty counter. I've tried switching to other products, but my skin doesn't feel as good.”
“Sexy? Me? I'm too shy.”
“It's important to do what's right for you. Some people who have a healthy diet and exercise regularly will always be a size 14 because that is right for them. It's about being fit and healthy rather than being a perfect 10.”
“I love glamour.”
“Bourjois make-up comes in amazing colours, and it's great value.”
“I used to go to auditions, mainly for talent competitions like 'Opportunity Knocks.'”
“My favourite memory was the first time my mum bought me a bubble blower. I must have been the happiest girl in the world that day. I was all over those bubbles like a moth to a flame.”
“I'll buy half the wardrobe after 'The Impressions Show' has finished - I know it fits and looks good, because I'm impersonating people such as Angelina Jolie.”
“For me, it's all about healthy eating and working out. If I have to look slim for a bikini, then I will eat lots more salad and fruit, which are low in calories and don't make you look bloated.”
“I have thin skin, so I have to work on my cellulite by exercising.”
“I like shopping, but I don't often get a chance to go, so I end up buying clothes from shoots I work on.”
“I don't spend a lot on clothes.”
“I've been writing songs since my teens.”
“It sounds a bit cheesy saying 'Coronation Street' is like one big happy family, but there is a real aspect of that.”
“Acting and performing is part of who I am.”
