The following is a snippet about her tastes in music taken from a two hour interview with the star by Dean Woods..

What made you buy the album 'groove drops'?

'Actually I didn't buy it. I first listened to groove drops about three months ago when they sent it to me as something I should listen to. The packet sat in my hallway for about two weeks before I thought to open it. Now I love it and play it all the time. I can't stop humming the tunes. It would be good if it were in the show but I suppose its not the right kind of music for that.' 'Its really fun and I don't need to skip any tracks. I don't do the product endorsement thing but this album makes me feel kinda cool…ha Cool in the Shade….that's good….groove drops ha ha . Here, I'll play it to you'.

What other music do you listen to?

'You know I don't really get much time to seek out music so I pretty much play what they put in front of me which is a mixture of things... KD Lang, Maxwell, the Cuban crisis and the English guy called Elvis' I quite like..
