Three words to describe yourself? Happy, dopey and sleepy.

In her own words.....
"I never have any expectations and just take it all as it comes."

"We never mean to offend anybody, we're just a bit naughty."

"I play football even though a lot of people turn their noses up at girls' football."

"I thought Victoria was gorgeous but a bit dim and Geri was a complete nutter. She had her hair in bunches and was wearing a pink fluffy jumper and saying 'Look, look - I'm a duck!' I thought Emma was just very sweet and Mel B was really cool because she was from Leeds."
