“It took me a year to talk about my miscarriage.”

“I snack on almonds and always make sure I have some with me. I hate being hungry.”

“My love life is not as interesting as people think it is.”

“If anyone says they haven't experienced sexism then I don't know what life they've lived. Males and females have, for different reasons, and I don't think it's a media thing.”

“When I hit the dance floor, I hit the dance floor pretty hard!”

“I'm already really aware and self-conscious of my accent.”

“Baking is my favourite.”

“I didn't know what a boy was until I was about 18. I wasn't in the cool group at all. We weren't cool, but we weren't nerdy enough to be picked on. So we were just in our own little bubble.”

“I've always wanted to learn the jive. It's fast, it's fun and it just looks awesome.”

“When my feet look and feel great, I feel great.”

“My style idols are people like Kate Hudson, the Olsen twins and of course Sienna Miller and Kate Moss- even Bridget Bardot.”

“I've always known I bruise like a peach.”

“My mam worked for 41 years. She was a single working mother. I think I always had that mentality of you can do everything. You can have your kid. You can be a good mother. You can work. She was very independent.”

“It's really nice to see something come full circle.”

“We can do things and not be the best. Maybe you were late to work but by god at least you got to work. You may not have the most productive day but well bloody done for getting out from under the duvet.”

“Everyone struggles with ups and downs and there is great therapy in knowing we all go through it.”

“It's a bit harder being on TV. I would be open to finding dates through Facebook or Instagram though, does that count? I do love flicking through profiles on my friend's dating apps though!”

“I don't like men who try too hard.”

“My only hope is that we can all try and be kinder, always show love and listen to one another.”

“The 'Love Island' villa in South Africa is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.”
