I'd date someone younger or older age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

I have my best ideas when I am alone.

If I can inspire people by showing that following a dream by working hard and being determined is possible, it's amazing.

I love a beautiful gown on stage, and luckily I've been fortunate to wear some amazing dresses.

I get such lovely gifts from fans... amazing pictures, handmade jewellery. I'm very lucky!

I believe I could have had a career in the music industry without 'X Factor,' but it was an amazing platform that propelled me to where I am now.

When I was really little I would sit in the back of my dad's car when he'd be playing old-school music. He'd turn down the music and turn around and I'd be singing and know all of the words but I didn't even know how to talk. From then on I've always wanted to be a singer.

I do love a bit of fashion. I grew up around a lot of it as my mum and dad had clothing stores so my mum was always designing a lot, and I definitely had that as an influence.

My dad is such a good man. You know how when you are a child you think your dad is invincible? Well, I still think that - he is so wise and everything I do I ask my dad's advice about first.
