The previous weeks she had birthday parties to go to. Important, normal five-year-old stuff that I want to come first in her life.
For years I used to try to straighten my hair, but I've reached a stage where I think, 'I've got red curly hair, and it's actually really great.'
It's been said of me that I must get out of bed every morning and go cartwheeling down the road. Of course it's not true. There certainly was a time in my 20s when I wanted a bit of freedom, and I found that difficult, but if I'm ever having a time when I'm feeling sorry for myself, something always jolts me back.
I used to hate my bottom because as a dancer, you're supposed to have nothing there.
The pushy showbiz kid thing was always the performance, not the person. I'm very solitary. I don't like socialising.
As a dancer I've always checked my body constantly; 'Am I having a good day or am I having a fat day?'
I am probably more critical of myself than anyone else, I am very tiny - 5'1 and a half inches - so there's nowhere for weight to hide.
I'm the fussiest eater on earth; my husband despairs. I like chicken and pasta, and can't resist milk chocolate. I figure if you're going to do something naughty, make it really enjoyable.
