I bought a Mercedes convertible brand new in 2016 and I’ve only done 4,000 miles. I love cars – if I’m going to blow it, it’ll be on a sports car. I already have my eyes on the next one – I’ll get Simon Cowell to buy it.
When I initially made money with the Corrs, I bought a Jaguar XK8.
My cello. At the time, in 1983, it was £192,500.
A $100,000 Mercedes.
To my grandma Faye, because I didn’t realise, when I was growing up, what an icon she was. She fought at Cable Street, and worked her arse off to get the family out of the tenements. She had a lot of wisdom to impart.
An actress. My family thought it was ridiculous, it was like saying you wanted to be an astronaut.
Our family song – Three Is A Magic Number, which my husband played me on the way back from the maternity hospital.
I am a living self-help book – I’ve managed to train myself to never regret anything.
