I'd Love To Play Carmen - It's

Being A Question On 'the Weakest Link,' That Was Quite A Moment.

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.'

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.'

I Go Home And Don't Get Treated Any Differently. People Have Known Me All My Life And Are Interested And Very Supportive But Because They Have Known Me Forever I Don't Get Any Diva Treatment. My Mum Still Tells Me Off If I Haven't Loaded The Dishwasher For Her.

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.
