singers wanted
I've only ever wanted to be a singer; I never wanted to be famous.
weekend lunch half
At the weekend, one of the paparazzi left their lunch box filled with half-eaten pasta salad on my doorstep: it was like a little warning, you know? 'We have been here.'
mistake long people
People see you sing in a certain way, in a long dress, and you are put on a pedestal like you have never made a mistake in your life.
bullying thinking people
Beatbullying's 'The Big March 2012' is such a brilliant campaign and I am very proud to be a part of it. I have been a victim of cyber bullying myself and I know firsthand just how hurtful it can be. People think that they can hide behind computers and send nasty and hurtful comments to people, and this is wrong.
links moments weakest-link
Being a question on 'The Weakest Link,' that was quite a moment.
perfectionist
I am a perfectionist.
mixtures broadway opera
I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It's a mix of things.
kids important want
I want to have kids. I want to get married. That is still very important to me.
wedding special magazines
I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you've done that, your marriage becomes everybody else's business.
birthday believe moon
I'm over the moon to be involved in the 'Doctor Who' Christmas special. I can't quite believe it as it's a part of the family tradition at the Jenkins household. I heard the news that I got the role on my 30th birthday and it was the best birthday present ever.
anniversary strong husband
If you love somebody, you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner, my dad the house husband. I'm a strong believer that a good relationship can work, whatever the situation.
adapt best dealing hassles press sung time travel
I always want to give my best and do the best I can. I know when I have sung my best and when I haven't. There can be stresses and hassles with time travel and press attention. I just have to adapt and find a way of dealing with it.
bit chocolate diet extreme fish follow version
I do follow a version of the Dukan diet, but I don't follow it to the extreme so a lot of fish and vegetables. If I want chocolate I'll let myself have a bit of chocolate in moderation.
people sadly somebody tag thrown
The diva tag just won't go away. I think that's because people want me to be like that. It makes it more interesting if I have thrown a phone at somebody or a water bottle. Sadly that's just not me.
