Going home and spending time with your family and your real friends keeps you grounded.
Ballet is such a disciplined craft and it has given me a good grounding.
I love performing on stage the most. It's getting that instant reaction from a live audience. There are no boundaries, you can take your character as far as you want to, you can be the craziest person ever.
I'm an addict for underwear.
My name's Jennifer Ellison and one day I'm going to be famous!
When I found out I was pregnant, I was over the moon about it, but I was upset I wasn't married!
I was born and brought up in Liverpool with my clever little sister Jemma, who is 14 and wants to be a vet. My mum Jane is an administrator and my dad Peter is a taxi driver.
I'm very close to my family. Not like these big stars - not mentioning any names - who lose the plot and don't know who they are.
The prima ballerinas who taught me were far more scary than Gordon Ramsay. They'd scream at me and pull my legs and arms, so after them Gordon was a piece of cake.
If the press see you looking normal they can suddenly be 'oh, she's got a spot on her face, she's having a bad day'. That can be quite cruel.
I'd already put on a bit of weight before I got pregnant.
I had absolutely no idea how I had ballooned during my pregnancy. All I thought about was eating plenty of food to keep my baby healthy.
I don't find it a struggle to maintain a healthy diet now as my palate has changed. I don't crave rich food.
I got a mortgage at 17! I didn't even know you could get a mortgage at 17.
I recently went mad and spent 1,000 in one afternoon on bras and knickers. I love classy, lacy stuff that makes you feel dead sexy knowing you've got it on. I've never worn stockings and suspenders, though. But I could imagine they'd make you feel really sexy worn under something formal. I think I'll save that experience and wear them under my wedding dress.
I know people will think it's funny because I've done glamour modelling in the past, but I felt embarrassed about my body and just wanted to cover it up.
I eat a lot of chicken with salad or salmon with salad.
I don't do faddy diets any more. I once did a no-carbs diet a few years ago but it made me depressed. I couldn't be doing with that!
I always wanted to act and sing, but my first love was ballet.
I think because I did a lot of modelling and appeared in lads mags a lot of women didn't necessarily warm to me. But now I have been through childbirth, post-natal depression and struggled with my weight, women seem to relate to me a lot more.
I wanted to have a go at a pop career. My first single, 'Baby I Don't Care', was a hit, and the second, 'Bye Bye Boy', reached the Top 20.
I want to tell people that I had post-natal depression because there is so much stigma around the subject and there shouldn't be.
I used to be such a daredevil but now I'm much more cautious.
I came out of the womb born to sing and dance. I have to follow my heart.
I was performing from the age of three.
