I grew up in a small house with just my mam and felt quite lonely at times.

I'm obsessed with Stevie Nicks and I think she's awesome - everything from her music to her style.

Accessorising is the best way to make an outfit more unique.

I've always wanted to learn the jive. It's fast, it's fun and it just looks awesome.

What I love about the U.K. is that there are no style boundaries, you can wear anything and you won't be judged, which is a fantastic attitude to have towards fashion.

I have always been interested in believing in yourself.

I like a bargain. If I want to splash out, I can rent a luxury dress, especially if I'm only planning on wearing it once. I often realise that I don't like it as much as I thought I would and I'm glad I didn't buy it.

No one knows what they're doing. I remember going into an interview with a big star and I was nervous. Then I realised they were more nervous. I realised I was the one with the power because I was the one asking the questions.

I bought a flat in Camden when I was 26, which I was extremely lucky to do. I think it's an Irish thing about owning land, giving you a bit of security.

I love a themed occasion - it provides endless possibilities for the menu, decorations and drinks pairings.

I've always tried to keep things as private as possible. Relationships are so hard as it is, especially when things are new and I'm all over the place. So you have to keep that as personal as possible.

I wouldn't want to be filmed in a bikini for 24 hours a day.

I am an ambitious person and I like a sense of challenge.

I love flying the flag for Irish designers like Joanne Hynes, Simone Rocha, Natalie B Coleman, Lennon Courtney and Helen Steele.

When you're younger, all you want to do is fit in, and then the older you get, you don't want to fit in, you want to stand out.

The salsa is all about hips, being confident and sexiness.

My love life is not as interesting as people think it is.

I'd heard about people having miscarriages when they were trying for babies, but my situation was very different. What happens if you weren't trying for a baby?

I definitely want a family.

If anyone says they haven't experienced sexism then I don't know what life they've lived. Males and females have, for different reasons, and I don't think it's a media thing.

Men can be feminists.

The 'Love Island' villa in South Africa is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.

The 'Love Island' team are the best in the business.

I'd never even gone on a date before moving to London.

It's a bit harder being on TV. I would be open to finding dates through Facebook or Instagram though, does that count? I do love flicking through profiles on my friend's dating apps though!

My essentials - besides my make-up artist - are high SPF and waterproof mascara.

My style idols are people like Kate Hudson, the Olsen twins and of course Sienna Miller and Kate Moss- even Bridget Bardot.

My only hope is that we can all try and be kinder, always show love and listen to one another.

I used to get bullied for being so small. I was really short until I was 16, then I grew a foot taller.

We're very lucky that we have such on-trend high street shops in the U.K. as sometimes higher end designers aren't very practical for day-to-day wear.

I'll wear one dress and someone will be, 'That's a gorgeous dress.' But my mother will be, like, 'What were you wearing? It looked like a chicken.'

The dishwasher is the best invention in the world, I didn't grow up with one so it's my prize possession in the kitchen!

My number one thing is be kind to yourself. We can't control what other people do, we can only control what we do.

We're all human, and growing up you learn that the world isn't always kind.

If you are the best you can be, you are doing your best.

We don't have to eat the best food to survive: a basic diet will get us through. We wear clothes to stay warm and hide our modesty, they don't need to be the latest designer collection.

I'm still learning new things about myself every day.

I like knowing what's going on in the world - even if most of the time I feel helpless.

Winning the MTV search and becoming the face of MTV News was so refreshing. I travelled the world, constantly meeting interesting people, and I quickly learned that this kind of news was more fun and made me feel less sad.

I've always thought of myself as a strong person. However, it's taken me a while to fully find my voice.

I snack on almonds and always make sure I have some with me. I hate being hungry.

I'm already really aware and self-conscious of my accent.

You know what, being in my 30s is so much better than my 20s.

If I'm on my phone and I'm feeling quite negative, maybe I need to not be on my phone so much.

Everyone reacts to things differently but just identifying in your own life, what works, seeing what doesn't, is as important for to you to talk about your own mental health.

When you talk about our good and bad mental health stuff, it makes you realise you're not the only one feeling that way. It's OK to talk; it doesn't mean you're crazy or abnormal in any way. In fact, it's the opposite.

You kind of wonder when you play a role, will people go 'Oh, is that part of you?'

I don't like men who try too hard.

If a guy looks in the mirror more than I do it's a bad sign. I like scruffy, but not smelly.

My mam worked for 41 years. She was a single working mother. I think I always had that mentality of you can do everything. You can have your kid. You can be a good mother. You can work. She was very independent.
