When I was 13 I'd record myself on my karaoke machine and if I didn't like it I'd record it again. I'd do that for hours, making sure each line sounded just right.
I think it's down to our songs - we've always made sure every song on every album works.
I've only been blessed with one talent, unfortunately, and that's being able to sing a wee bit.
All the stories are the least of my worries - I'm so used to it. There's never been anybody trying to get away from the band, because this is what we all wanna do.
We're not into all those dodgy journos who makes stories up.
I'm a size six to eight.
Because of all the touring we do, our diets are all over the place.
I hate sweating, running and getting that red-faced look.
It's amazing what you can do in your bathroom! I would do vocals and stuff on my computer that would need to be sent to London or New York for things to be added on, and I was thinking they always say you sound good in the bathroom - but then I'd kick the bin, or someone in the next room would flush the chain or something and I'd be like 'oh no!'
Slowly but surely, people don't see 'Popstars: The Rivals,' they see Girls Aloud. We're a band in our own right.
I don't want to be in the newspapers or to feel like I have to manipulate things to make my life seem a way it's not.
My focus has always been on being a singer. It's easy enough to keep it private.
Around the time that Girls Aloud was at its biggest, I was offered some huge acting roles in America. I decided to stay loyal to the band rather than take those other opportunities. Sometimes I wonder whether I should have just taken them.
I have a big family full of massive personalities so i just sit there most of the time great fun to listen to their stories.
I played clarinet for many years.
I love to make everything as much about the music as possible.
I am scared of so many things.
I used to be brave. In the past, I've opened a restaurant, had a record label, had my daughter and it was go, go, go with all of these.
I think it is since I became a parent that I am much more afraid.
I only want to do live shows. What happens with TV shows is you can't always do things live.
