What is your attitude to health?

I'm quite bingey; I'll be really healthy for two weeks, but then I'll be really crap for a week. I don't get ill, though.

Do you worry about your weight?

Yes... oh my God! I am very up and down. If you are on telly, it makes you lose weight much quicker. It's like a weird, sick way of weighing yourself. I do have a personal trainer who I'll go to every day - I lose loads of weight, then I get lazy and put it all back on again.

Any notable accidents?

When I got the job on Popworld at 16 I went out and celebrated with my friend Olivia. We got drunk and were climbing over a fence in Hyde Park when I slipped and impaled my leg on a spike. I thought it was just through my jeans so I started pulling it out and realised it was in my thigh. I was so drunk I still went to the pub. The next day at the hospital they said a couple more hours and they would have had to amputate.

Is sex important to you?

What a weird thing to talk to The Observer about. It's quite interesting to hear the different ways boys and girls talk about sex, because they're not so different at all. I can't really talk about this any more - my mum's going to read it.

How much do you drink?

My drinking, again, is quite bingey. Two weeks off, then four days on.

Do you smoke?

I used to smoke all day every day, but nowadays I only smoke when I'm drunk. I also used to smoke a lot of weed, but you can't do that and then do telly, so I stopped. I quite miss it, actually.

How do you feel about drugs?

I've never thought they were glamorous and I never thought they were massively detrimental. In moderation, drugs can be fine. They're everywhere now, and everyone's a lot more educated about them.

Are you happy?

My friend told me that happiness isn't about the destination, it's about the journey. I don't feel like I'm crazy happy at the moment, but I feel like it's going to be a good summer because I have all these new, interesting things coming up. So actually I'm probably right in the middle of euphoria right now, I just don't know it.

Have you ever had therapy?

No, but my mum thinks I should have.

How do you feel about cosmetic surgery?

Me and most of my girlfriends have said that we would never have a boob job, but we all said that we might have a boob lift. That doesn't sound so surgical, does it?
