Look, everything that you experience as a kid is the foundation of how,you are today. I was brought up in a working class family in Leeds and,when it comes to money both my parents worked hard and instilled the,same attitude into me.
Whether I was dancing around the house with headphones on or on stage,with the Spice Girls. . . I learned firsthand that dancing was the key to,shedding off the pounds and keeping them off.
I live my life on self-belief and I live it partly on going with the,flow.
I live on my gut instinct.
