I was a drug dealer in Ibiza at 15. I did not excel in drug dealing - I was terrible at it. Golden rule with drug dealing - don't get too enthusiastic with your own merchandise.
I'm a record collector. I'd spend all my pocket money on vinyl.
But Dad and I are the only father-and-daughter acts who have both had No. 1 songs in England.
