Words Of Wisdom: To OK! magazine, about appearing on Wags Boutique: ”Then after, I was recognised by young girls and women, rather than just men who look at you for your boobies. It’s been a nice change, having people look up to you because they want to wear what you’re wearing or because they like your hair. It’s much more rewarding.”
