For Stage Wear And Gowns, Julien Mcdonald,

I Have Such Happy Memories Of Performing In A Choir And I Don't Think I'd Have Got Where I Am Today Without All That Experience. So My Advice To Young Singers Is To Either Join Your School Or Church's Choir Or Find One In Your Local Area. Choral Music At Any Level Teaches You So Much About Musicianship And Blending Your Voice.

My Idol Was Marilyn Monroe, Who Was A Size 16, I Think, And Curvy In All The Right Places. I Will Never Be Stick Thin. I Remember A Shoot Where I Had To Get Into These Tiny Hot Pants, And I Thought, 'god, I Wish I Hadn't Eaten.'

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.

I Am Fussy, About My Diet And Straining My Voice. I Know, Sounds A Bit Over The Top. But I'm Not As Bad As I Used To Be. These Days I Don't Drink Alcohol For Five Days Before A Show - Very Dehydrating For The Vocal Cords, And All That Acid Reflux. I Used To Ban It For A Fortnight. Nightmare.

I Can't Leave The Studio Until Everything Is As It Should Be. And I Can't Put A Record Out Unless I Am Completely Happy With It. I Never Want To Be At A Signing And Hear My Album Playing And Think, 'oh No, I Could Have Done That Top Note Better.'
