When a music teacher that I had at school was taken ill and we had a variety show and I had to fill in - that's when I realized I had a voice.
I've always listened to music, since I was really, really young.
I refuse to put make-up on just because the paparazzi are on my doorstep. I find it morally wrong.
Yes, I met Carl Barat [from Dirty Pretty Things] yesterday when I was at the POPWORLD TV show. He smiled at me and watched 5 minutes of my performance. I don't think I've said anything that bad about anyone, though, to be honest.
If I could dance like the ladies can, it would have been my arse on your screens
The Mail Online is like carbs - you know you shouldn't but you do. Probably two or three times a day
Periods. We all get periods. Once a month, yeah. That's what the theory is
You know what, my new mantra is this: ANT AND DEC. Ant and Dec. I might get their names tattooed on each wrist. Because they smile, and they never complain, and it seems to work for them and I wish I could be more like that.
I want to go to the gym every day, otherwise I feel really bad. I just want to get more toned and healthy.
I'm quite an opinionated person, but I'd never written a diary before. I quite like it!
I always wanted to do music but never really had the confidence to do it until my first manager George Lamb, who I met out in Ibiza, encouraged me.
People recognize me all the time now, and there's lots of autograph hunting and smiling. But then I get to play gigs, which are amazing. It's a good job.
Staying in with you is better than sticking things up my nose
