From as far back as I can remember, I was always insecure about my looks, whether it was my flat chest, my skinny legs, or how to cope with my body as it changed. With hindsight, I can see I was different. I was given a body that worked for photographic modelling and a photogenic face.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

I was very skinny, but that was just my natural build. I always ate sensibly - being thin was in my genes.

My sole focus as far back as I can remember was all about my dream to become a singer.

I like to get on with people. I don't go around being nasty, but if someone crosses me, I can be horrible back.

The way I looked when I started modelling - I was a skinny schoolgirl, stuffing tissues into my little 32A bra. I wasn't trying to be that thin; I was perfectly healthy, but still - that look is a total impossibility for women over the age of 20. Fashion has a lot to answer for, doesn't it?
