I see wrinkles and lines, and wear glasses to read, which I hate. But I am in a better place in my body than I used to be.

Looking in the mirror is very strange; we see only what we choose to see, good or bad.

For years I used to try to straighten my hair, but I've reached a stage where I think, 'I've got red curly hair, and it's actually really great.'

I am probably more critical of myself than anyone else, I am very tiny - 5'1 and a half inches - so there's nowhere for weight to hide.

As a dancer I've always checked my body constantly; 'Am I having a good day or am I having a fat day?'

I'd got a part in the original cast of 'Cats' when I was 16, and that kept me going for a while. After that, I felt lost, both personally and professionally - I was trying to find a way not to be seen only as this bubbly, bright, vivacious person. It felt like I'd lost the freedom to make mistakes.
