We had to struggle for what we've learned, but we're so thankful.Collection: Thankful
My celebrity hair icon is Lana Del Rey, and beauty wise I like Jennifer Lawrence and I love Kerry Washington in 'Scandal' - her make-up is flawless on that show. She is one of my TV icons.
Girls Aloud had a style of music, so you come together and work as a group.
I hated London; I was so lonely.
In an arena, with Girls Aloud, it's a big production and you don't have time to talk to the crowd about the songs.
You spend so much time in a studio writing for other people, you forget you sing, you know?
I like everything to be natural... believable.
I struggled all the time to find makeup that was light enough.
I think sometimes certain behaviour of men is seen as normal or usual - but it's never normal or usual to the victim, ever. It's horrific.
I don't like the feeling of being unhappy. I don't like the feeling of being unsure about myself, or uncertain with where something's going - I would rather turn away. I just can't feel like that ever again. It's just horrible.
I feel like I had quite a bad time from about 2003 to 2007.
I used to do fake tanning because I was told that I didn't look great.
I want people to stop being so obsessed with the way they look.
We've got ourselves into a very vain state of society and there's more important things.
I want cancer rates to fall.
I'm frightened of the dark.
Me whole life, me whole childhood, me whole growing up, the competitions I went for and the weekends doing the dancing and all the shows, was to be a singer.
Don't like lychees.
I was a 16-year-old little girl from this little town who just wanted to sing.
You've got to be your own best friend.
I had a year of therapy and I swear to God, I went in that with a certain level of self-love, but not enough to keep me out of bad relationships, not enough to try and save people who were toxic for me, not enough to recognise when something was bad, to walk away.
Time off doesn't sit well with me.
I think everyone just likes what they like. And fashion is something that I have found a lot of 'like' in.
I feel that all girls like clothes and I'm more of a creative person. If it's writing the album or developing the makeup range, it's just about being creative. That for me is where I am happiest.
I have some people in my life who are stunning on the outside but maybe not as beautiful on the inside and I have people in my life who are such lovely people so I see them as being really beautiful.
I think if you're happy and you're a nice person and you have a nice personality that always shines through.
I was aware that there weren't many make up brands that catered for women for extra pale skin so I feel proud that I've been the person to do it.
Not everyone can like what you wear - sometimes you don't even like what you wear.
I'm not gonna sit and pretend I'm hard as nails.
Kanye West would be my dream collaboration.
I'm just the biggest Kanye fan. I think he's a genius.
For years I felt like the ugly one in Girls Aloud.
It was weird. I joined this band because my life was all about singing. Then Girls Aloud became successful, and suddenly it wasn't just about being able to sing any more. It turned into a beauty contest.
People on radio and television started making nasty comments about me and I felt awful. Turning from a teenager into a woman is hard enough without dealing with snide comments.
Ultimately I'm quite a strong person.
Too much dairy and wheat gives me bad skin.
For years I hated being pale.
Anyone of any age or background who loved pop music liked our songs.
We were put together by the public, they voted for us to be in the band. So we were very much the public's band.
We made mistakes publicly.
I love Rodial, their products are amazing.
I do 100 squats while I brush my teeth.
I won't eat frozen food and I like to know where my food has come from. I don't like anything going in my body that's from a packet. I used to eat microwave ready meals, because we were so busy, but now I like to eat clean.
I don't model myself on just one person because I don't think that's healthy.
I had to learn to have confidence.
I don't ever want to work on something unless I feel really passionate about it and know I can give everything to it; otherwise it's not truthful and I hate that.
I'm one of four so I'm very family orientated. Me, my sister and my two little brothers are like the four musketeers; it's us against everyone else. We're like a little pack.
Having red hair was never an issue, I'm so happy I have red hair.
I truly love my hair but my skin colour was something I couldn't get my head around.
I always felt that people found women more attractive if they were tanned and there are some parts where I'm so pale, I'm blue and see-through.
