"I hated London; I was so lonely." — Nicola Roberts

No matter how much control you have or how much confidence, it's always in someone else's hands, all the time. That's the scariest thing about this industry. It's so political.

I have very sensitive skin and every time I have a facial it makes it worse, so I tend to avoid them.

For years I felt like the ugly one in Girls Aloud.

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.

It's inevitable that if you write an album or a song, obviously it's going to come from how you feel. You're writing it for yourself, it's just the way it is.

Having red hair was never an issue, I'm so happy I have red hair.

I used to use a sunbed after school. It wasn't a regular thing, but I'd go in wearing my uniform. No one ever stopped me. No one told me it was dangerous.

We made mistakes publicly.
