“When I get back to Derry I always enjoy a good fry-up that my mum makes. That's my big weakness. I also eat too much chocolate.”

“The press likes to create cat fights with girl bands.”

“Right after I had Anaiya, I definitely wanted more kids. I was like: 'I think I could do this professionally.' Because I loved being pregnant so much.”

“I'm one of those people that to be a singer you can just walk around the house and sing, you don't have to be in a studio or on a stage.”

“I have insecurities, but they don't consume me. It doesn't bother me if my hair's a mess or if I have a bad skin day. I just don't look in the mirror!”

“I think it's down to our songs - we've always made sure every song on every album works.”

“Some days I am fine but us mums are not robots, we are not perfect, we have to give ourselves a break and a pat on the back.”

“The entertainment thing - you're there to entertain, it's not about you - I get that, but for a while I lost my opinion.”

“I would rather go back to when I started doing music in Ireland and it was all live. I mean you just don't mime.”

“My favourite smell is bleach. If I walk into the house and there's things being bleached, it just makes me feel at home, euphoric almost.”

“I like being in a girl band.”

“Kangaroos are crazy and can do all sorts of terrible things.”

“My big weakness is potatoes. I love them mashed or baked.”

“I like to swim. Love a swim, any time I can do that is a good thing.”

“I was born and raised in Derry and I can't change the way I talk.”

“I love the live shows when they're on and all singing great but I hate it when the judges say bad things about their singing. I feel sick because I feel it is mean because I've done the reality TV thing so I have such strong memories of what it feels like and I just imagine how bad and how nervous they must feel.”

“I'm not a particularly healthy eater. But I am 100 per cent fit and healthy and I am the right weight for my body type.”

“There was real camaraderie in Girls Aloud, the feeling of one for all, and all for one.”

“Before I was in Girls Aloud, I wanted to be a nanny. But then Girls Aloud started and that ruined that dream!”

“Because of all the touring we do, our diets are all over the place.”
