“I had a year of therapy and I swear to God, I went in that with a certain level of self-love, but not enough to keep me out of bad relationships, not enough to try and save people who were toxic for me, not enough to recognise when something was bad, to walk away.”

“I don't ever want to work on something unless I feel really passionate about it and know I can give everything to it; otherwise it's not truthful and I hate that.”

“It's inevitable that if you write an album or a song, obviously it's going to come from how you feel. You're writing it for yourself, it's just the way it is.”

“I always had a family that instilled in me red hair was my superpower and how it was such a lovely thing.”

“I'm not safe with fashion, and I haven't been for a long time.”

“I love Rodial, their products are amazing.”

“I've always been a keen observer of people.”

“I don't care if something's from Primark or Prada, it's about if you like it, wear it.”

“I'm one of those people who likes to be the only redhead in the village.”

“Not everyone can like what you wear - sometimes you don't even like what you wear.”

“I was aware that there weren't many make up brands that catered for women for extra pale skin so I feel proud that I've been the person to do it.”

“When you're confident about something, people can't bully you about it.”

“I'm not ill, I'm just pale.”

“Have a good sense of perspective and be able to snap yourself out of bad moods, as we often wind ourselves up about the silliest things.”

“Anyone of any age or background who loved pop music liked our songs.”

“Girls Aloud had a style of music, so you come together and work as a group.”

“I tend to colour my hair myself with an at-home Wella dye. It allows me to control how red my hair is.”

“You spend so much time in a studio writing for other people, you forget you sing, you know?”

“I'm not gonna sit and pretend I'm hard as nails.”

“I'd make a good psychiatrist. I can work people out very easily and very quickly. I've been like that since childhood.”
