Insatiable,' the album, was more of a project, really... it was more like a songwriting excursion and an exclusive deal that hadn't really ever been done that often before... me being like, 'ooh I'm an entrepreneur,' rather than 'this is my singing career.'

I mean, I didn't feel, as part of Girls Aloud, that my opinion wasn't heard, or they went and did certain things and I had no say, or we had no say.

I loved being in the group, and some of the things that we were able to do were amazing.

I don't mind being asked anything! Not at all. I tell you what is annoying, is when you say something and somebody writes something that's completely different to what you said, and you're like, 'well that's not nice, because that's not what happened.'

I would rather go back to when I started doing music in Ireland and it was all live. I mean you just don't mime.

I only want to do live shows. What happens with TV shows is you can't always do things live.

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 am scared of so many things.

I love to make everything as much about the music as possible.

I played clarinet for many years.

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.

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.

My focus has always been on being a singer. It's easy enough to keep it private.

Slowly but surely, people don't see 'Popstars: The Rivals,' they see Girls Aloud. We're a band in our own right.

I hate sweating, running and getting that red-faced look.

Because of all the touring we do, our diets are all over the place.

I'm a size six to eight.

My weight often fluctuates by half a stone.

We're not into all those dodgy journos who makes stories up.

I think it's down to our songs - we've always made sure every song on every album works.
