“I've been in relationships and had long-term boyfriends since I was 13, so I've always had that emotional pillar of support. I'd got to a point where I felt like I couldn't live without that.”

“I love Keith Lemon. I love Holly Willoughby.”

“I think we're all guilty of judging, and I look a certain way - I wear a lot of make-up and fake tan.”
