When I was on 'Loose Women' I never thought you have to keep it light. I had my own view. It sounds daft, but I forgot that there were cameras there because I got very heated in discussions.

I'm the only one of the family born in Yorkshire. My aunt came down first with her husband and told my mum there was plenty of work in Wakefield. My dad was going to go to Australia, but mum said no, we'll go to Wakefield.

ITV have been fantastic and I still have a good relationship with them, but I probably won't be back on 'Loose Women.'

Loose Women' didn't axe me. I had started planning the tour and album and Loose Women saw my list of 40 dates. I wanted to back out and focus on my music career.

I've had the same group of friends for more than 30 years and although I am not always great at keeping in touch, I am very loyal to people who are important to me.

Being tired doesn't necessarily make me grumpy but I do find it incredibly hard to focus or get anything done.

Some people seem to survive on very little sleep but I am definitely not one of them.

A whole new world of taste opened up to me and I put on at last one dress size, if not two during my 12 weeks on the Black Prince.

I loved being at sea: the sights, the sounds, the food, the sunshine, the people, and the work.

I love Australia because it's a different time of day so I'm asleep through any problems back home.
